Message: [QUOTE="BunnyLain, post: 185526, member: 112643"] Ahhhh it's a hard one for me. I like original hardware just because the controllers are something special for each console, but they barely last (n64, GC, PS2 mostly) so you can't even get the authentic experience from them. Plus actually plugging games in, while it's great... a flash card is super nice. If the flash card isn't just hot garbage like the DS and GBA seem to be prone too. So really the best way is to just go with the original hardware... That said we don't live in a world where emulation is awful any more so you can just emulate and get a damn fine experience most of the time or just use an FPGA console... the real issue with all of this now days is actually the damned TV. We don't have CRT's like we used to, so reliving your childhood is just too expensive. I kinda envy the youth that grew up on the 360, while you never got kids games so to speak, you certainly never had your games cursed with nostalgia! All said... disk based consoles are great to hack and load iso files onto, thanks Sony for being bad at console security! You're next microsoft... But yea! Emulation is amazing and made it so many people can experience so many games that they never would have. Part of the charm of how games used to be was having to find them in stores. Not really a thing anymore, thankfully! [/QUOTE]
