Yeah exactly. People in the industry very much remember and speak very highly of the Gold Box games. It's just that not that many average people at that time had computers, so the people who got to play them are a small group.
I myself have suggested on many game developer forums the idea of someone doing a modern-day version of the Gold Box games: a series of relatively small, one-off games paralleling the TT game modules that WotC has been very prolific with releasing in the 5e era.
