Most of the people on this site probably have many fond memories of playing old DOS games. It's excellent that people have worked to keep the games alive and help others continue to enjoy the games decades later. At the same time, for me, at least, the full excitement of playing these games isn't recreated 100% unless I have someone to play them with in person. Don't worry, this isn't an advert to meet. When I think about playing the old Sierra games years ago, for example, I sometimes think of who I played them with as much as the details of the games themselves. It makes me want to call up old friends and say, "guess what, I got a Roland MT-32!" Of course, I won't do that (probably not, anyway 😀 ), because they would probably think I was a freak. Just wanted to throw these thoughts out there. Discussing old games online is wonderful, but it's often no replacement for in-person connections, IMO.
Another thing is that when I play an old Sierra game, even just for 20 minutes or so, I get a power boost. It helps me tap into something. It re-centers me and gives me a lift.
