The Titan submersible implosion features a lot on HN, and almost nobody here built such a contraption, or took one to the bottom of the ocean, or imploded. Naming a gaming storefront which may sell an old game doesn't answer the question whether young people want to play it.
My reasonable baseline assumption is that almost no young player is going to jump to play a 30+ year old game. I'll be generous here and not name things like Frogger or worse, The Oregon Trail. But give a kid who has seen modern games a copy of Diablo, or SimCity 2000, or even newer things like or GoldenEye 007 or System Shock and watch the "excitement". And these are the heavy hitters.
A lot of these oldies didn't age well even for the people who loved them way back when. It's hard to get young players excited about them. Very few oldies could stand on their own today.
