I think it is a bit of nostalgia. I think those are the games we enjoyed playing, and for many, those were the first games we played. Those are always memorable, just like the first love, or first learning to drive.
I played to monkey island games for the first time a couple of years ago and think they actually are as good as the nostalgic people claim. Nostalgia clouds your memory a bit, yes, but the games are excellent.
