I read another take on "why would anybody buy a game from the 90s if not nostalgia" and I am boiling inside.

reasons you might buy games from the early 90s 

* you like pixel art
* you like chip tunes
* you have interest in the history of the medium
* you're sick of modern games for a little bit, with complicated pre-order schemes, microtransactions, and State Farm Insurance sponsorships
* you have a computer that's also a potato
* you appreciate that time has faded out a lot of the less-notable games
* you like game design trends that are not profitable in the current game market
* you know that good design is not a matter of technological obsolesce
