There’s also moldy cheese, which is strange, but there are people who like it, so what?
One could argue. The sci-fi genre, for example, didn’t exist in antiquity; it’s mainly a 20th-century phenomenon.
It’s not the technological aspect of the graphics, of course, but the graphics themselves can be implemented much better than in a typical modern game.
I’m not even going to talk about things like the plot, which don’t depend on the level of technology even indirectly.
There simply aren’t any more modern analogs of this game with decent gameplay. I think there aren’t any analogs of the game in principle.
