That is true. Some will still take an interest in older platforms in a reverse route as they explore and become interested in different computer trends such as the demo scene or gaming. If for example you were to look at Underground Gamer, who's torrents are all for out of production systems, you will find a large number of younger members downloading some of the older system torrents for systems such as Genesis and Nes. They are too young to have remembered the system at the time of it's height, or were not even born, and are now exploring them in a retro way to see what it was all about, and why they were so great at the time.

I suppose it's a bit like music or films in a way. We were not around when early films or music were originally recorded but we still play them and enjoy them.
