I'm not condemning it, but
why do people buy old computer games?

Can someone please explain this strange pastime?

As soon as a newer, better graphics/gameplay sequel of a game comes out, all versions are forsaken to the bottomless pit, never to grace my console's microchips again.

nostalgia
and newer isn't always better.

people still watch black and white films too.
