Yeah the pandemic was a big boom for PC gaming. And it's understandable children are more into the newer stuff than the old stuff we grtew up with... But if I was a Dad I'd still encourage them to "give the old things" a try than let them watch whatever because it shuts them up.
I gave them all of mine to try, even Gamewatches, Game Gear, and ol' SEGA Master System.
In the end it's still up to them to chose what they like.
They have too many options right now compared to when I was a kid.
