Try almost 4 decades since pretty much DOS came along in 1981.

Backwards compatibility, sure, but scalability? Not so much. I'd say PC games don't scale very well before 3D became common, which would be roughly two decades ago. I'm sure there are exceptions, as well as mods, but overall, scalability for old 2D games isn't that great.

There is some scalability. You can apply some filters such as interpolation on 2D titles so it doesn't look as gangly on large and high resolution displays.
