I image that is why people play old games that have poor mechanics when viewed with modern eyes.

Sometimes! But I think sometimes you play old games for the mechanics... Heck, sometimes you even play old games for the art direction / atmosphere. I think I can get a lot out of old games just by kind of appreciating them in the context of the year that they were released... In that sense I think I can also be impressed by the graphics in some old games, because I can be impressed with what they managed at the time.

But yeah, I think games have a lot of aspects that can make them worthwhile (and different people will value different things). Nethack doesn't have a lot going for it in terms of graphics or story, but it's still worth picking up and it's not impossible to sink hundreds of hours into.
