Shouldn't half the fun be in hooking the games up to an old CRT tv? Blowing on the cartridges? Cheating to use that modern Plug-and-Play joystick console!

- krapp 9y agoNone of that was ever any fun. I think unless you actually care about the game or system as a physical artifact, emulation's the better way to go.
- throwanem 9y agoEven nostalgia can't cast a rosy glow over that huge pain in the proverbial. The fun was in playing the games - getting them to run in the first place, especially the battered rentals which were so often the only option when a single cartridge cost $50 or so, was anything but.
- khedoros1 9y agoIt's not too bad. Keep the pins clean, and the ones in the console itself bent straight, and getting a game to run only takes a couple tries ;-)
