1. AO still holds up, it has nothing to do with nostalgia.
2. Shade isn't a fan of Oddworld.

Nostalgia is a personal, subjective affection that people feel. You can't feel nostalgic about something you first discovered 2 days ago. I think you're misinterpreting the definition of nostalgia completely. Your original point is that Nepsotic can't feel nostalgic about AO because he wasn't born when it was released. That simply isn't true. (See my Wonka example) Of course AO still holds up, I think it's a brilliant game; I still play it today, and I am also nostalgic when I think about playing it as a kid.
You're reason for him not caring about Oddworld was because he hasn't played Exoddus. My counter argument was that you don't need to have played every game in a franchise to be care about it. I care about GTA but I've never played the PS1 games or the PSP versions.
This is verging on going off topic anyway. AO is cool, N'n'T not as good.
