Just makes the near infinite amount of older games that i can get for free more appealing. I used to really like video games. I had a nice little retro game booth in a flea market for a while, I've probably played through more games than most self proclaimed gamers because making sure the games i was selling worked and that i could answer questions was how I was making money. I was never one to prefer a genre before that either, there are good and bad and mid games in every genre. Standing out from the pack was what separated the classics and forgotten gems from the rest of the heap. Sometimes standing out didnt even mean being particularly good, some older games are worth trying because they are such radical departures from what we see as the estsblished formula, cause it was either a new formula or one that didnt exist yet.
My top games just to illustrate the variety:
Wild Guns
F-Zero X
FTL
Skate 2
Fire Emblem Thracia 776
Super Metroid
Castlevania 1
We <3 Katamari
Star Fox 64
Metal Gear Solid 2
Wild Guns
I found out this game was good RIGHT AFTER selling a copy. I had a flea market booth where I bought and sold retro games, happened across Wild Guns in a a yardsale box I got, saw it went for a decent price and I needed money, so it went on the sale shelf without much thought. Slightly later, Mike Matei (the other guy who worked on the angry video game nerd pre-movie) started uploading his own videos and one of the first was '10 Most Underrated SNES Games' and this hit the top of the list. I think this was 2010 or so, peak AVGN popularity, so not only did the price skyrocket immediately after I sold it, once I tried it on an emulator I realized I wouldnt have sold it even for a lot of money cause it's fucking SICK. I did come into an Action 52 cart just a bit before the AVGN video came out for that one and made a shitload on that. I only kept shit I would play, you literally cant play the Action 52 for more than a few minutes unless you wanna risk breaking it. The weird bootleg cartridge gets hotter the longer its running.
