Those throwback re-releases of Sega or Atari consoles with a bunch of games built into them. They're fun for the first few hours and they work well, but they end up collecting dust. Turns out those games aren't as fun as they were when I was a kid and didn't have many options for gaming.
I've found this as well, nostalgia factor is fun for a limited time. Then it becomes a question of if I have the patience and dexterity to slog through a game to the end much like I did when I was younger.
If given the chance, playing for nostalgia reasons is fine, just set the expectations lower on how much fun it will be. Spending a lot of money to play? Probably not worth it, find a bar-cade or someone else to loan you a system for a day or two.
Heh, similarly, I bought the C&C Remastered Collection (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/Command__Conquer_...) because it was such a large part of my childhood.
I played for a few minutes, listened to Hell March (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3YzmjmAGoI) for nostalgia, and then remembered why I moved on. Games sure have changed a lot in the intervening decades, lol.
