It's not just about it being old, the_matthew. The hunt is for a specific kind of experience a new game can't copy. It's the weird, handmade feel of the box art, the smell of the old manual, and the clunky charm of the writing. Finding that particular vibe, complete with a beat up box someone else loved, is the whole point. A digital download just doesn't hit the same.
