I play retro games not because of nostalgia (I wasn't even born until 1985 and my family was always IBM clone-owning and wouldn't buy me a Super NES or Genesis either) but because they're awesome games. Sure there was plenty of crap released at the time, but history has sorted through all that and clearly labeled it as such, so I can avoid it. Also, I love the 2D graphics of 16/early-32 bit generation. Amiga, Genesis, SNES and PC VGA really represent the best in 2D graphics because people back then actually bothered to make them look good.
