If you’re going to the trouble to buy retro hardware for retro gaming, you probably don’t want to be settling for emulation. While Apple’s built-in 68K emulator for PowerPC is remarkably fast and compatible with a lot of software, there are plenty of games that freeze or crash on PowerPC chips or newer operating systems for various reasons (non-protected memory, many operating system APIs in ROM, breaking changes, etc).
Thus I think if your retro-gaming dream includes lots of 68K Mac games (especially black and white ones) then you’ll probably want to pick up a 68K Mac as well. Not to mention how cool it looks to have a B&W compact Mac on your desk, such as the Mac SE/30 (one of the best computers Apple ever made).
