Younger gamers are already treating the games I grew up with as "golden oldies" and "timeless classics" the same way I used to treat the music from the 60's.
There are youtube channels where young guys dive into the c64 and other "antique micro computers" , expressing their wonder at this ancient archeo-tech.

feels weird, in a good way though.
