For me its this with almost every older game ever. Like … I have around 200 days /played in EQ1 and when I went back after a few years of absence I just could not stomach playing it even for a few hours. Not even to see the sights and what’s changed. I guess I just don’t have that nostalgic for video games -gene.

Well, except \*Angband games - I can go back and play those, but then again they have fairly good interface as long as you remember how it works. There’s even macros and auto-targetting so you can just shoot magic missiles at the closest enemy with one key press.
