Somebody made a good point earlier saying gameplay was all you had because you didn't have incredible graphics.
Most of the games looked great for the time. (I think many of them look good to this day, but that's another topic.) Outside of arcade games, there wasn't much you could compare NES games to other than other home consoles on par or below it like the Master System, Atari 8-bit computer line, and the Commodore 64.
The first game that stood out to me from a graphics perspective back then was the NES port of the arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I beat that game in my local arcade countless times and the limitations of the NES were very apparent once I played the port. Then my brother bought a Genesis and the difference in power became even more apparent.

as a kid i didn't even think about it, or know that it was possible. i thought they were going to make games on the NES forever
so after being blown away by improved graphics it never occurred to me that there would be 3d consoles so the n64 really mind fricked me
PS2 i thought looked like real life
since then I've felt less of a wow with each new generation.

true.
Lets remember too, playing a "game" is not the same as it was back then.
Back then you were literally just playing a game.
Now, most of the time you are basically playing an interactive novel or movie that you control with a major emphases on narrative. The point of playing is different now than it was then.
