Certainly. Older people find older games interesting, but not only because they played them back in their time, and even if they didn't. Myself I play "new oldies" more often than "true oldies", as I didn't have a computer until quite late. Not that I play a lot nowadays, I played most when I was 16--20-something.

- music / graphics / story / game idea - what part of the games got generally BETTER in the new games?

Arguably graphics, back in time GPUs didn't even exist as we know them nowadays. But...

I agree on this. And actually considering how popular hand-drawn 2D art can be nowadays outside video games, take Frank Miller's comics and movies for example, it's not trivial to understand why the market prefers computer rendered 3D graphics ALL the time. I think it's because if you think about it, nowadays having full software support along the whole drivers, libraries and tools line, contrary to popular belief making 3D graphics is actually far easier than making something yourself, no matter how many computer resources it takes.

- Do you have some time in a year, in which you tend to play nostalgia games more?

No, but when a game manages to make me want to play, after I'm done with it I'm more willing to search for other games to play on a streak.

- Why do you play old games?
|
Because If I find them more entertaining than whatever new games I may have--I don't have any, I only have a wide gamut of older and less old games. And because often I find them available for download (gasp) in decent websites with interesting communities and the FBI doesn't go after me as a consequence.
