No wonder the emulation scene took off the way it did. Nostalgia only carries you so far. Witness the slew of tv shows being released on dvd. I admit I sometimes get the urge to pick up that Knight Rider Season One set but I just know when I actually watch it I'll realize how crappy it was and that I only loved it because I was 12 when it was on tv
The games are different though. I've gone back and played old games I loved as a kid and some don't hold up but many do. Ms Pac Man (fast mode) in particular is probably my favorite game of all time. So many good games...Donkey Kong, Defender (I suck), Joust, Qix, Tempest...well you get the idea.
