When was the last time you made a point of checking out your childhood favourite video games, from a newer, more mature perspective?
Where in music, film and TV you're actively encouraged to experience classic albums, movies and shows, in gaming the idea of delving into the past is largely assigned to diehard collectors, still possessing the necessary hardware to fire up said "classic" in the first place.
