Many of these are also games that wouldn't have ever been multiplayer back then. With co op games like adventure games, first person shooters, third person shooters, etc, unless the players are stuck on the same screen, multiplayer wouldn't have even been considered. Think about it. How many first person and third person shooters in the past have had multiplayer pvp, but no co op multiplayer? Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Armored Core, etc. The reason these games can't produce multiplayer during co op, is that they have to stream all the graphics twice while the AI not only has to direct specific commands, but would have to direct these commands against multiple players which would put even more of a strain. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark run at 20fps as it is.
Games like Diablo 3 can run multiplayer on the same console because the characters are restricted to the same screen, just like Secret of Mana did on the SNES(and look how poorly Secret of Mana ran,) just like the Tales games do on all consoles, etc. Bloodborne as a co op game can't. This same game on the PS1, PS2, etc, wouldn't even have been in multiplayer. Any open area adventure games that aren't top down that have split screen co op? How about King's Field, how about Shadow Tower, these are also From Software games. Or Armored Core 4 and For Answer have co op multiplayer, but it's online only, how many Armored Core games on the PS1 and PS2 can you play co op, not just pvp? Some games though do have same screen co op multiplayer. Resident Evil 5 and 6, however the screen area is reduced to about 66% each with the remainder being blacked out. Any co op Resident Evil games on the PS1 and PS2? Oh, there's Outbreak(which is one of my favorite Resident Evil titles) but oh noes, you can't play multiplayer on a single console, imagine that. Who would have thought that a 3D action adventure game is going to have such a difficult time playing multiplayer on the same console. Anyone with common sense.
That's anything modern. When the SNES was modern games were more expensive than they are now, and most hourly wages were less. When the N64 and PS1 were modern, N64 prices were ridiculous, although PS1 games were $50 each, so were Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox games. That being said, the minimum wage has increased since that time, so games are essentially cheaper now days still. Game prices also drop pretty quick if you want the purchases to be affordable. Waiting for the gen to end and then purchasing the games used at that time is the cheapest by far, but if you were to collect SNES games now days you'll be paying at minimum $20 for most games "complete." I mean. I don't go to Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, etc, and buy games with the disc only, and even if they were complete, I'm still getting a NEW game for $15-$20 rather than a used game for $20-$300.The main thing that's kept me out of modern gaming is its become a rich man's world. You have to be the kind of guy who can afford thousand-dollar televisions, entertainment setups, $100/mo internet connections with no bandwidth limits or data caps, on top of the consoles and games themselves, or you're SOL. Even at the current collector prices, even Earthbound isn't anywhere near that big a damper on my wallet.
I mean, it's pretty clear that you have some form of internet if you're on this forum, but even if you didn't, you could still play every PS4 game in my library. So you don't "need" internet. You can still play the entire single player campaign and multiplayer with offline bots and offline multiplayer on CoD, you can still play any of the 55 heists on Payday 2 and complete them in many difficulties, you can play the original revision of Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls, you can play through the entirety of any complete editions available like Watch Dogs(PAL only,) Witcher 3, Skyrim, etc. Anyways. You get the point.
You know as well as I do that you don't actually need an HDTV, there are pass through devices that allow you to play HDMI on older tvs. Additionally, HDTVs are as cheap as $50 and you can find decent sized low latency tvs for a few hundred dollars. Gaming, modern or otherwise, is a ridiculously cheap form of entertainment, obviously being a collector is going to be more expensive, but unless you collect a few years after the console is dead, used or not, complete games are going to be more expensive on average than collecting modern games that drop in price.
