Many older games are still worth playing today. But which ones exactly – and what do they have in common?

Master of Orion 2, Jagged Alliance 2, Monkey Island, maybe even good old Diablo – there are games that decades after their release we still love to play – and eagerly recommend. Why is that?
Micha and Maurice “Play Battle for Middle-earth, you fools” Weber explore this classic formula in the live podcast with Gunnar and Chris from the world’s best retro podcast Stay Forever.
We look for similarities between the mentioned and other classics: What does a game have to have so that we can still turn it on and completely immerse ourselves in it after 20 years?
Why has the 2D look of a GTA 2 aged better than the supposedly more modern 3D graphics of GTA 3? Does retro (pixel) graphics have their own charm, or is it just personal preferences and you twist them Eyes
And what role does multiplayer actually play in all of this? Do games like Counter-Strike 1.6 age more slowly because they keep creating new chaos thanks to the interaction with other people?
At least that’s what they have in common with podcasts.
