Why is the era worth revisiting?

Because many gamers from that era are at a point in their life where they are starting to have more free time to get back into gaming, and are finding that their preferences and wants just aren't the target audience any more for big game publishers. As a result of this Indie devs (and a handful of bigger publishers) are filling the void, making the games this resurging generation wants -- pick up and play games with generally simple mechanics, a decent challenge, but not necessarily casual.

I have an entire wall filled with new and old games, most of the new ones I've never even opened, and many of the big-name titles in my steam library remain unplayed. However, Duck Tales Remastered, VVVVVV, Megaman 9/10, Castle of Illusion w/ Mickey Mouse, smaller titles like Costume Quest, they tend to get a lot of play time and actually beaten. It's not that I don't like the new games, I just find myself not often in the mood for them at the end of the day when I'm tired and want to relax and unwind by myself for a bit.

I'd have liked to see a configuration tool released with it since the default settings they use for AGS aren't well suited for me.

To anyone else that prefers to play in a window, along with a window that's not ginormous due to their scaling setting, add/change this in acsetup.cfg under the existing [misc]:

windowed=1
gfxfilter=StdScale3
