I should clarify that I wholly respect the kids who've invested time and making new games for these retro systems (except 8 bit guy, fuck that retard). I have no problem buying new games if it looks decent enough.
For sure, some of these kids make good games but they cannot take even mild constructive criticisms from people who were in it back in the day and some that still are. I remember this one instance where a 20 something was asking advice on composition of SID tunes for a game they were working on when Rob Hubbard came in and critiqued what they had and gave some advice, The child developing the game threw a temper tantrum and then proceeded to insult somebody who pioneered SID tune development starting in 1983.... One of my favorites of his.(youtube.com)
I remember that. SID music was always bad ass.
