Us ancients must understand that there's curious people online who weren't even born when OFF was released, much less Earthbound.
I fear this lack of accessibility for younglings in our current landscape of dying games media, ragebait YouTube & older, jaded gamers...
Don't be the new boomers.

Okay, so I won't link to spare anyone getting caught in the crossfire, but there's been a whole wave of discourse kicked up by someone asking 'Is Undertale the first game to really explore the player and character being separate?'.
And that's a GOOD QUESTION! Don't dunk on people who are curious!

Yeah the way that gaming is ignorant of its history is a problem, but a big part of that is dudes pretending that it started in 2004, instead of *checks notes* the seventies
So they think they're old hands because they had an N64
It's like if we treated Aladdin as a historical curiosity instead of a movie
Gaza is being wiped out—daily bombings, no food, no water. Life is unbearable.

It's important to have the context, the connection, the guidance... and the time.
Thing is, you knew about this thing you think is important for people to know but evidently didn't spread the word to everyone. So when they do show interest, you scold them rather then encourage it?
Like if I start talking to someone about Persona 1 and they ask where they can play it, the best answer I can give them is to find a used Vita and buy it off PSN with one of those prepaid points cards
I've played a bunch of fan localizations of Japanese games that never came out here that way

Me, who had friends absolutely obsessed with OFF live in real time:
The first game to feature brecht's v-effekt
Surely theres an old interactive fiction game I can't bring to mind
Imagine you as a kid/teen, coming out of the cinema after watching Lord of the Rings in 2001, only for a grumpy old man to tell you it's "bait" that you say you like Fantasy movies but don't know about 1973's The Golden Voyage of Simbad.
It didn't last long but It was great as long as It did.
