A.K Rahming: "The fascination with classic gaming seems to be at an all-time high lately.. The excitement from the recent announcement of original Xbox titles being made backward compatible with Xbox One; the constant whining for the Virtual Console to come to Switch; the massive amount of hype surrounding the SNES Classic Edition—all of these are examples of the incredibly high levels of interest that people have in the retro gaming scene. All of it makes me wonder: Why?"
