I don't think you've seen a drop in the quality of games - I think you're just getting old :P Like you, I haven't played any game made after 2001 or 2002. In fact, I think MTW might be the youngest game I've ever played. But it's not because of a drop in the quality of games. I'm actually sure the quality of games has INCREASED quite a bit. It's just that for me these new games inevitably can't have even a tenth of the charm of my childhood favourites (and games resembling them, like MTW). That pixellated look and those cartoonish colours just make me feel warm and fuzzy the way gorgeous photorealism never will.
