Nostalgia

That bittersweet feeling of seeing something that triggers good childhood memories. It feels nice but it can also hurt, knowing that those nostalgic memories you’re seeing are just memories now.
“I saw an old toy in my basement while I was taking out clothes from my dryer. It was very dirty and dusty, but this toy has triggered memories from my childhood. That was the feeling of nostalgia; it feels so good, but now that toy is just a distant memory..”

Blinded by Nostalgia

Blinded by nostalgia is typically a term referring to a player in a video game who knows that they enjoyed a certain newer update of a game, but act as if an older update of the game was better, because it was more "nostalgic", even though the update didn't bring really good stuff.

Nostalgia crush

Sensation you experience when you return to game you played long ago but developers removed or made all old features obsolete
Best example of Nostalgia crush can be found in game pixel gun 3D , developers removed many old iconic maps and because of power creep with new guns old ones became obsolete , therefore they crushed nostalgia of returning players
