That's also why I prefer older RPGs in general (plus my preference for books over movies). Visualizing the world of the game that I'm playing in my head helps to create more of an intimate relationship with it (makes me feel more like I'm actually there, if I may say so), whether it be something I have fond memories of or something that I happened to find in the bargain bin.
