Ditto re RPG. I still have my original D&D and AD&D, Traveller etc.

The only old games I still play are RPGs such as The Bard's Tale 
(Spectrum) and Amberstar (Atari).
I still have a regular (well once a year is regular, it's just not very 
frequent) D&D game that has been going since the 80s.

What was the conclusion of old vs new games?
