A fun game is a fun game. That's all there is to it.

They're like a fine wine.

Nostalgia is much of it, but there's generally a simplicity and straightforward style retro games have.

I think it´s the simplicity, there were no downloading times, no dlc, everything was in the box

Plus, old school platformers or RPGs tap into totally different and unique skill sets which are not very prevalent anymore.
