Old games (and newer games that rely on older gameplay) have a much wider appeal, because they are usually simple, quick, and fun. Every now and then, Ambi and I will boot up a game of Metal Slug, which is great because it's an old school arcade shooter, and is therefore an instant pick-up-and-play.
However, I'm all for deep, meaningful storylines and challenging gameplay. I just happen to have a soft spot for older stuff as well. I did grow up on Sonic and Metal Slug, after all.
