One sort of silly thing I miss about games from the old days is how fun it was to screw with bad coding and glitches. I got more game play out of my old Pokemon Red more than other other version because of all the rather neat stuff you could do due to programming oversights. I still remember being absolutely blown away when I read the legit Mew cheat.
There was also a lot more dummied out content that you could access through cheat devices that were actually rather fascinating, especially when they were quite playable like Bottles Revenge.
You also don't have the rumors that you used to have, mostly because the internet becoming mainstream has allowed folks to shoot down lies faster than ever. There were so many fibs about Pokemon and I remember someone making fake screenshots of themselves "finding" the secret in Ocarina of Time that let you encounter the Triforce in the Tempe of Time.
