I probably spent months in front of FS4.... would have loved to have dual screen back then! It ran almost perfectly on a 286 machine... did so many transcontinental flights from San Francisco to New York. The graphics were bad, yet imagination made me feel like I was there.
Imagination is why nobody complains about the graphics of back in the day. Or even games like Dwarf Fortress, UIs like Vim, etc. The hurdle is that getting into a game that take a step backwards in terms of graphics gets difficult.
