Another factor about nostalgia is that when we were younger, our minds were much more impressionable. It didn't take much for me to be awe-struck by games back then in the nineties, especially with massive leaps in tech. As gamers grow older and their taste becomes more refined, it gets harder and harder for developers to come up with new features that isn't just another iteration of an older idea that said gamers are already aware of.Eefness said:
Not to mention that nostalgia doesn't only involve our love for old games, but our past lives themselves. Our first games have this magical ability to take us back to our more innocent years... that's the case for me at least.
