I've been playing old adventure games using Dosbox and ScummVM recently. I'm having a lot of fun. I've been point maxing some games that seemed impossible as a kid, playing games I wanted but never got, etc.
I'm thinking about trying some of the really old Gold Box D&D games. Pools of Radiance, etc. Not sure that they've aged well.
Pools of Radiance is a bit iffy but entirely playable, but if you're willing to go back to red box, beyond gold box, the Sega Genesis' "Warriors Of The Eternal Sun" is a banger D&D RPG for its era, though it has a couple broken or janky mechanics, it's honestly a marvel how well it adapted things onto such a limited system.
Made an 8 hour RPG out of less data than a 3-minute youtube video in data.
Every gamer: "go back! Go back! It was better before!"
And that's why everyone if they're not playing indie, are playing older games.
