For me I get that nostalgia spell every now and then. I was playing Fallout 3 recently gut to play Reign of Grelok Bata.
I'v always had a love for text adventurers, but I refuse to play any on my PC.
The last time I play such a game was Zork, and right as I retrieved the egg from the nest.
My first PC crashed and to this day it is an interesting and funny tale to tell, of a text adventurer to powerful for an old PC.
