I'm a younger player who should by definition prefer the modern games. I bought an EM because it's what I could afford at the time and had more interest in learning how to fix, and now I'm really drawn to the gameplay of early SS stuff and am on the lookout for classic Ballys and Sterns. I like the "one more game" aspect of them, compared to the "adventure" of modern stuff. It's even gotten to the point where I perform better in classics divisions in tournaments over moderns which most people don't expect from new players.
