That's certainly part of it. And time moves faster as you grow older.
(Someone said life is like a roll of toilet paper: the closer you get
to the end, the faster it goes.)
At my age (50), the early years of home-computer games seems like only
yesterday. And the fun of playing them seems brand-new. Yet, when I
take a sober look at it, it turns out a couple decades have passed. My
wife and I aren't the same people we were back then. It's not only the
games that have changed; we've changed too.
So, maybe it's just a futile effort to try to recapture some piece of
the "good old days"--because it's not so much that those days were
good; it's more that we were younger then and saw things differently.
