I play retro games for two main reasons; to hit that that nostalgia itch but also for arcade goodness. I find that the fps, stealth and action type games from early 3D era to have dated quite badly in the main but the variety and range of pick up and play fun single and multiplayer games ranging from the tony hawks games plus every extreme sport imaginable to anything with four or two wheels in a racing game has not been matched.
Nostalgia does weigh heavy on older titles but as with older music or movies or any art form, they can be appreciated by different generations and for different reasons. I sometimes love to see how a series has evolved whether its a mario platformer or marvel fighting games. Also as a keen SHMUP player, the resurgence on Switch is amazing and to start digging at the roots of this genre and it's heyday is fascinating to see the sheer variety that were produced.
