     @lina Not sure. Simply playing is no longer enough, the place of those games is different now. Those are no longer technological marvels, pushing the limits of what could be done with home computer graphics, but a refuge from tripple-gay conveyor of lookalikes with increasingly ludicrous texture sizes. The experience could even be the same but a lot of context might be lost on someone who never had a computer without soundcard.
     
     Similarly to how once the internet was a magical place to hide from reality, few had gateway to and now tall grass is a magical place to hide from the internet. "No matter where you'd went, everyone is connected now" to quote a deific egregore.
