Nostalgias power to make people buy

I am often called a "nostalgic person" . I.E most of my favorite movies, Tv Shows and games are pre 2000. This interested me quite a bit as the way I see it Nostalgia is a large selling force in the world of today.

I mean look at the best selling games of today. People always buy the latest , Mario, Sonic, Zelda etc games, even if they moan about how bad they are. What is making them do this ... NOSTALGIA for the old games . Look at the film industry. How many movies these days are either remakes or movie versions of old cartoons, TV shows and toys from the 70s, 80s and 90s ? quite a few it seems what with transformers, Gi Joe, Battle ships, dark shadows, and total recall to name only a tiny few.  And look at films like the expendables all the old action stars getting a shot again ( specially glad to see lundgren again, he was a baddass

Thing is everyone is nostalgic and remembers the good old days and it effects your life. I guess i am just more vocal about it.

And to finish best movie I can name of the top of my head

Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost ark

Best game

Gabriel knight : sins of the father.

Yea ....im more vocal about it.
