That is really true. Especially because you can play a lot of old console games (including old Sega games!) on, say, a Nintendo Switch. Or on pretty much any PC or Mac with moderate fiddling. And if you are a "preservationist", you'll either want to play/document/whatever it on the original console, or on one which is dedicated to emulate the system as faithful as possible, i.e. the systems from Analogue or a MiSTer FPGA solution.
