I wonder what games and movies my kids will be nostalgic about, or insist are timeless. Currently for movies that includes Frozen, Wreck-it-Ralph, Lego movie, Despicable Me, Ponyo. Yes, I fed them the timeless Disney classics, they didn't stick.
Same with games, except Worms Armageddon is a winner and I guess Super Mario maker counts as old mario? :/ They did play the older Mario's and ps2 games yet their classics are Lego city undercover, PvZ GW2, Rocket League, Minecraft, Terraria and yay Windwaker.
It's hard to predict. I don't remember what games I liked when I was 7 as there were no video games. The first games I played I remember fondly, yet saying JSW 2 is still a great game today, hmm no. I did enjoy playing it again in a browser yet the magic isn't there anymore. Plus you can simply google the entire map today. I'll never forget the Lazy Jones song though, stuck forever.

Very interesting post. I do think it is down to individual differences, as there are plenty of kids who enjoy classic disney movies just as well. I think it's always interesting trying to get kids to see "classics" of the past, and see how they react to that. Music, movies, cartoons, games, it is really fascinating to get that perspective.

The problem is a brand new gamer who has never seen or played old games will also be automatically bias because of technology advancements.
To them the gfx will automatically be shit and they will not enjoy anything else about the game. They will expect it to be a free or very cheap mobile game. |
I strongly disagree here. The absolutely insane popularity of games like Minecraft and Terraria among kids shows that it is not about technology but gameplay mechanics.

Most old games were terrible during the time they released in. Fact of the matter is that the majority of games has always been bad. The mediocre and bad games of today are perceived as good by many gamers, but once these gamers get exposed to better graphics, they'll finally realize that they spent their time on terrible games. |
This is very true. The pretty presentation giving us the wow factor now, lets us overlook huge flaws in most games.
