Retrocomputing isn't just about nostalgia, a midlife-crisis rewind back to your pimply-faced youth. People are still getting more out of those old systems than was ever thought possible back in the day, using powerful modern systems to solve for packing ever more complex code or data structures into 64k or less. Kids are being introduced to old platforms. They can't deliver the graphical fidelity of the Xbox Series S, but if Minecraft and Roblox are any indication, post-zoomer youth do just fine with simple, abstract, representational graphics.
