Dunno if it counts as oldfaggotry since it's something millennials did, but I remember when I was in middle school during the late 00's it was pretty common to find let's plays of people playing Parodius on Zsnes, but these days you almost never hear about that game.
>I see so many people who grew up with SNES who like Sim City. But nowadays I feel like most people skip it.
That's more because that's not the best way to enjoy Sim City. I made a thread a while ago asking why every SNES recommendations list is the exact same, and got laughed out of the thread for using NBA Jam as an example or a "rare find" on the system; most anons' sentiment was that with current emulation technology, there's never a proper reason to play an inferior version of a game when a superior version is available. So in the case of NBA Jam on the SNES, it's better to emulate its arcade version, and in the case of Sim City it's better to just play Sim City 2000 on DOSBox. Because of that, some classics on a given system are now shunned. I played the shit out of Sim City 1 on a SNES emulator on my phone when I was in college so I get its appeal, but there's basically no need to play the SNES version now if you've got access to better versions of the game. When I was a kid I played DKC on a GBA and had a blast, but now it's seen as inferior with how easy it is to just emulate it on SNES with better resolution and sound.
