Hell, I'll even make it multiple choice and round up allowing you to play Scavengers of the Mutant World instead.
I’ll play through it if you gift me a steam key for Deathloop after. Deal?

I would say that applies more to computer games released in the latter half of the '80s and the first half of the '90s. Even on computers in the early '80s a great deal were simple enough that you could pick up and play them today. It helps that outside of DOS machines, most computers came with joysticks, so most games utilized that. In fact, the only system in which you would have serious problems playing a game from today would be the Intellivision and possibly Colecovision, which both had considerably complex controllers.Something overlooked is that old non-console games are just completely alien to people who didn't grow up with them due to the lack of any form of design/UX standards or conformity. Console games tend to be much better in this regard thanks to the certification process required, which is why you see e.g., Chrono Trigger pop up on many top game lists to this day. Anyone who has played a video game can pick up and play most Nintendo-approved NES/SNES games.
OTOH, the lack of enforced conformity I mentioned also helped move the genres forward rather than stagnate. Developers were much more free to experiment in design.
All but the simplest media eventually becomes outdated as cultures and languages change. We still play chess and even sennet, but good luck reading and appreciating the Iliad nowadays. Even the original Dracula novel has issues with outdated styles despite the character’s popularity.

For more than two and a half thousand years the Iliad and the Odyssey have been read, understood and appreciated, but now all of a sudden they’ve become outdated and incomprehensible? Well, I don’t disagree that to most younger people now they have become so, yes. But it’s their mental capacity that has shallowed, not the works that have suddenly changed.
I read both as part of my education (not to mention the epic of Gilgamesh which is far older) and until very recently that was the norm for any educated and motivated young man. It’s true that traditionally many games are forgotten with the passage of time (though quite a few stay with us) but there is no doubt that we are living through a cultural collapse. Games are only a canary in the mine here.

More like Witcher 3Do you mean old CRPGs like Dragon Age: Origins and Torchlight?
Uhm, They did. They did...If the CRPG genre had adopted these ideas, they would be more appealing today, but they didn't and have thus faded into obscurity.
Pretty sure anyone born after 1999 is an actual retard. I think they started dumping estrogen and nanobots into the water supply sometime around 2000 and ever since then the only thing the modern generation knows is Twitter, charge they phone, simp, be pansexual, eat soy and cut off their genitals.

I still do that. Illiad and Odyssey are still among the best works of western society. And will be worth to read and appreciate for centuries to come.but good luck reading and appreciating the Iliad nowadays
Dunno about writing styles but those numerous blood transfusions is pretty silly stuff, because blood types havent been discovered yet. So in that regard book is pretty dated.Even the original Dracula novel has issues with outdated styles despite the character’s popularity.
I haven't finished it yet, but I've been reading it and I don't think it matches your description at all. In fact, I would say it's become one of my favorites because the writing is quite good. I love the style.
best way to have kids enjoy old CRPG'S is to basically force them a childhood of only classic games
"PLEASE DAD I DON'T WANNA PLAY DUNGEONS OF DAGGORATH ANYMORE. IT CAME OUT IN 1982!"
"you will play it or you will get the hose again"
I think they are being raised to have shit taste and will be unable to understand anything that doesn't offer instant gratification through exp, pretty textures, and regular dlc.
