For myself and many, many other homebrew developers, it has little to do with nostalgia, and much to do with learning and the forced limitations that come with the hardware.

For someone like myself, and many other homebrew developers; it’s about unlocking the potential the hardware had. Look at Stunt Race FX for the Game Boy as a perfect example. IIRC, someone just ported DOOM to the bare-bones SEGA Genesis.

Nostalgia is why people play these games. (Well, that and they’re often excellent quality games.)

The challenge, and the learning of low level systems; is why homebrew developers choose these older systems to work with.

Hope that makes sense!
