I imagine it's the same reason I like movies and music that came out before I was born. You don't have to be generationally tied to something to like it. People are going to like good things if they're good. I don't feel like it really matters when something came out.
There’s a survival bias too. People rarely will hear about or play the bad stuff from that era, but we keep hearing about the bad stuff happening now because of marketing. People then get nostalgic of a time that didn’t really exist. For every Mario Bros there’s a dozen Bad Street Brawler that no one plays today.
As someone who grew up in the 80s there were a lot of garbage from then too, it just didn’t survive the test of time.
