Get kids and play halo and other old games with them. I bet the feeling will be similar, yet different. Sharing the games you played in your youth, reliving the moments and creating new ones.

Plus you can kick their asses if you don't tell them about the game's secrets. I used to play Mario Kart with my young niece and nephew on my brother's old SNES. They loved it but they had no idea about the power-sliding so I could beat them at will. They also never grasped that when you're leading the race the players behind you get better pickups.

I'm not a monster - I would sometimes let them win when the crying got too annoying.
