Yes, I play and love retro games (even of the 1970s and 1980s), but I also love new games with all bells and whistles (raytracing, path tracing, VR games...).
At least once per decade I play all Lucasfilm/Lucas Arts point&click adventures and my favorite Sierra adventures (point&click and parser-based).
In 2020 I replayed the PS1 point&click adventure "Blazing Dragons" (1996) via ScummVM + the complete "Quest for Glory" series (1990 - 1999)
In 2021 I replayed "Dark Seed 1 + 2", "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream", "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis", "Riven - The Sequel to Myst" and "Spy Fox 1"... all point&click adventures from the 1990s. Also "Labyrinth" (1986) via C64 emulation.
In 2023 I replayed "Mystery House" (1980) and Sierra's other "High-Res Adventures", "Laura Bow 1 + 2" (1989/1992) on my iPad Pro via ScummVM. Also Zork 1 - 3 (1980 - 1982) via iOS-App "The Lost Treasures of Infocom", "Dragon's Lair" (1983) and "Space Ace" (1984) on my Steam Deck and the GOG version of "Diablo 1 + Hellfire" on my PC.
In 2024 I replayed Sierra's "Soft Porn Adventure" (1994) and all "Leisure Suit Larry 1" versions (EGA, VGA, Reloaded). Also "Die Fugger 2" ("The Fuggers 2", 1996) and the successor series "Die Gilde" ("The Guild", 2002).
In 2025 I replayed the point&click adventures "Call of Cthulhu 1: Shadow of the Comet" (1993) and "Call of Cthulhu 2: Prisoner of Ice" (1995) on my Steam Deck. Also "Super Mario Bros. 1 - 3" (1980s), "Super Mario World" (1991) and "Kirby's Dream Land" (1992) via Nintendo Online on my Switch OLED and "The Hobbit" (1982).
This year (so far) I enjoyed the interactive documentary "The Making of Karateka" and played through different versions of Jordan Mechner's "Death Bounce" (1982) and "Karateka" (1984 prototype + Apple 2 version, 1985 C64 + Atari 8-bit versions and the 2023 remastered version).
Yesterday I bought the interactive documentary "Atari 50". Today I played the included games "Pong" (1972 arcade version), Quadratank (a new version of the 1970s series "Tanks") and "Breakout" (1976 arcade version and the 2022 "reimagined" version "Neo Breakout"). Next "Atari 50" game in the timeline is "Sprint 8" (1977).
I also bought the interactive documentary "Tetris Forever" in the Steam Sale... but that is a story for another day.
