One of my favourite things about PCs is that "old" is relative, really. Generations don't exist in any meaningful capacity. Steam and GOG sell everything from shiny new blockbusters to ancient relics, meaning the same hardware I use to power realistic puddle physics can be easily used to resurrect childhood favourites and discover painfully pink DOS experiences I missed out on the first time around. Most of the time the only difference is the name I click in whatever software library I have open in front of me.
For every older game I clear, another two I discover that I'd like to play somehow seem to pop up in its place. Whether some big publisher's carefully polishing up a beloved classic or a boutique label's unearthing long forgotten… maybe not treasure, but something weird and a little broken in all the ways that make me sit up and pay attention, there's always so much to catch up on.
