Emulators make sense, sure. But there is just something about collecting the games that I find enjoyable.
Emulators are bad. Holding the old classic controller(s) and playing on an old tube TV is the way. CRT will give a way better retro experience.

Find a Sony Trinitron KV-Series and you're good to go.

The official "retro" consoles are also emulators I've heard.

The Trinitrons are nice, but really anything with a decent shadow mask looks great imo:

I got one of those retro SNES consoles a few years back, came with like 32 games on it but the hard drive was big enough for a bunch more, found copies of every game ever made for SNES and was able to fit almost all of them on there at once.

My favorites are the games we didn't own but rented from the video store as kids. It has the nostalgia factor of playing a game from your youth but one that you didn't know every in and out of. There is a great motorcycle/jet ski combo racing game called Full throttle All American Racing, one that I've enjoyed going back to again and again.

I think alternatively you could also fit all 700+ NES games on that size hard drive too. A little google searching was all I needed to find the files and tools to put stuff on the hard drive.

PS1 is my favorite era in gaming, even though I grew up with them all and was a little older for ps1, but I felt it was a high point for blending Western game design with Japanese game design.

You'd still get these insane 8bit wild ideas, but with this new 3D worlds.

Also the japanese PSX games are totally amazing. It was definitely my favorite erra.

AND to top it off games advertisements would have boobs in them back them.

So good!
when my gameboy was delivering fantasy RPGs I was at my happiest.

Gargoys Quest on Gameboy was also an amazing adventure.

And god I love tie fighter/xwing!

Speaking of adventure games (which used to mean zelda style games when there wer eonly like 5 of those in existence)

The Tgraphix Neutopia was an amazing game that came out before the SNES zelda upgrade, and it was glorious!

If you like 16 bit zelda, i strong recommend you play neutopia!



I also loved Golvellius to itch that zelda scratch before it became a "genera"

Gameboy Advance has some really good titles on that I never got to play in era [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Golden Sun 1+2
The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Metroid Fusion
Castlevania: Aria Of Sorrow (think they made some others for it too)
Mario Kart: Super Circuit

Lots more too. The Switch might be good but the GBA is right up there with it for playability.
