In fairness, a lot of parents force their interests in their kids. That said, when my sister's husband wanted to force his kids to like Mario he had me set up an emulator rather than dig out an NES.

But yeah. People also overestimate how long hardware will last or what a mess playing decade old software is. Even when I want to play a chaos gate, I am jumping through enough hoops that I am not even starting from the big box.
