I perfectly understand that angle, and there's lots of late 80s and 90s games which wow me technologically, but typically those games are also pretty fun for me to play. Pic related (actually a port of an even earlier 1988 computer game), is one of those which has really wowed me with how its design and themes are really a decade ahead of its time

There's lots of games from before my own time (1992) which I like a lot, but the 2600 stuff never did click with me, and it's primarily because of the gameplay. The graphics and sound are actually fine.

I always figured that if you took a bunch of the best regarded 2600 games and stapled them together as minigames into like a broader 'board game' setup similar to Mario Party, it'd be easier to get younger generations into them.
Seeing people like >>12094295 talk about playing these kinds of games at a party or with a group of friends reinforces in me that this idea could work.

I checked out Star-Trek TOS back when it turned 50, wasn't sure I'd like it having watched TNG reruns in my teens and heard people dismiss TOS as "inferior, hokey and bad schlock," but I honestly loved it, in some ways even more than TNG. Kirk rules.

Are you actually that old? Genuine question.
