A few months ago, someone asked me which games were my favourite, and considering that I'd been playing various PC games since 2000, I had quite a long list. When I mentioned that I'd enjoyed NFS Underground 1 and 2, people were surprised, especially because I remember these two so well. I'd played them even after Carbon came out. Same had happened with Most Wanted (the title from 2005). I know a lot of people who still play it, even after all this time.
I'd realised then that "newer gamers" usually play newer games. In general, only those of us who had played these when they were fairly new (if not brand new) can still appreciate them. I can still play Underground and be interested in the game simply because that's the game of my childhood. Sometimes when I hear a song which was a part of the game soundtrack, I start feeling so nostalgic. But I also see why older games don't interest everyone. For example, I'd started the TES series with Skyrim and I just couldn't warm up to either Morrowind or Oblivion. It happens.
So, what is your opinion. Would you be able to go back to some of the old games you once played? What about old games you never got to play?
