There are quite a few games that I play from the 90's still. Almost always, its because new games have failed to continue the concepts or gameplay established in the older games.
For example, can you tell me of a similar game to Alpha Centauri? Or Capitalism Plus? Chrono Trigger? Phantasy Star 2/4? There really aren't a lot of great comparables out there, so I'd rather play them for cheap than buy a $40-60 game that is likely to suck. Even games from the PS2 era have had difficulty being copied. My wife and I love Dragon Quest VIII, and since we don't own a Wii/DS, we can't play the new ones (even then, they don't really look as similar as we'd want them to be).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
