A game can remain enjoyable even if it's quite old, depending on your preferences and how much you value its content.

It varies by style; I avoid old FPS/action titles but enjoy strategy games and other slower-paced genres. Some of my favorites include Heroes III and Age of Empires I & II. I often played for hours on a Windows 95 system.
Those were the moments... I loved AEO and Heroes 3 just as much.
It can be quite old if it includes some contemporary elements. For example, password systems are often seen as outdated, and similar issues exist with other modern conveniences.
Grew up in the late '80s with a passion for PC gaming, so I don’t really miss the old NES or SNES titles. I did play those games when I was around friends and family, but I’m not into that trendy nostalgia. Probably because my childhood was shaped by Wolf3D and DOOM, and the simple pixel art doesn’t bother me much—just a different style from the intense visuals I grew up with.
It varies by title, but I enjoy it more when it’s from the late '90s or later due to the sentimental vibe. Probably depends on your age.
Absolutely retro! A mix of 80s+ games like Prince of Persia, Donkey Kong, Lode Runner, Tetris, Elite, Super Mario Bros, Missile Command, Zork, Boulder Dash, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Ultima, and Kings Quest. Probably some from the '70s too—maybe even Pong and Space Invaders. I’m sure there’s a lot more I’m forgetting...
