I think OMJ's point is that the ye olde, pre-stamina, RNG-based combat system lent a refreshing unpredictability to fights and brawls. It enabled everyone to have at least a chance, no matter how slim, at subduing a superior foe. It also made improvised weapons and fist-fighting much more viable than they are now.
