I love watching and reading nostalgic game reviews that really capture what made old games special. There's something about hearing someone talk about a game they loved as a kid, analyzing why it worked so well, and comparing it to modern standards.
Some of my favorite reviewers are the ones who can balance nostalgia with honest critique. They acknowledge the limitations of older hardware while celebrating the creativity that worked within those constraints. The best nostalgic game reviews make you want to go back and play the game again, even if you've already beaten it a dozen times.
Who are your favorite reviewers for retro content? What makes a good nostalgic game review versus one that's just rose-tinted glasses? I'm looking for recommendations for channels, blogs, or podcasts that do this well.
