Nostalgia with games will also force you to appreciate old hardware and operating systems.

Setting up old games that required specific DMA and IRQ settings can be a pain in the ass if the card doesn't have the expected hardware assigned to antiquated numbers. Plus new video cards and new drivers can crap out on games with dependence on old VESA standards.

It's funny how newer isn't better for old fart game addicts, I just hope there's enough resources out there to keep some of the good old games alive.
