IMHO, nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Years on, it's still sheer vicious fun. The key features are probably the sense of speed and danger - one shot from anyone can kill you, at close range - so battles are far faster and more brutal than in most modern games.
Gunning down attack dogs with a gatling was fun, too.:)
