So many great memories. I used to play video games a lot from 7 to 15. First C64 and then Amiga. And then started the PC era and I totally lost interest. I didn't find the games and the platform as enjoyable. What kind of games do kids like to play nowadays? is there the same diversity of games as there used to be? Recently, I was at a museum in New Zealand (I think it was in Dunedin) and they had a C64 there. I was pleased to see a bunch of young kids enjoying playing it! They didn't seem to think it was outdated.

Digital distribution has brought back the feeling of the older computer games in a big way. Steam has some titles, but it still puts up some barriers. itch.io [0] is the hotspot for stuff too small to notice these days. Just last night I was linked to a homage to the ICOM adventure games [1] and it was hosted on itch. Kids don't really seem to care too much about a high fidelity experience. Everything is new and different to them to begin with, so that stuff is just window dressing.
