I love emulators. I have MAME, gens, snes, c64 and a few others running on my old xbox as well as on my PCs, including my trusty Mini 9. Who says it can’t game

Indeed. People still play chess and Go, which is, what, 2500+ years old now? Good games are good games. It’s fortunate we have emulators to help keep some of them alive.

Personally, I’m sick of the fact that old games presumably die. I still play ye olde wolfenstein in dosbox sometimes, just because it’s well-made and, in essence, your objective is the same as any modern shooter. Doom is still one of the greatest shooters ever made and I’m still addicted to it, even though I’ve got all of id’s newer games. Jazz jackrabbit kicks Crash, Mario and Sonic’s asses, and Tetris is immortal.
You don’t need a new computer to play cool games, when there’s so much abandonware available for free. I think it’s sad that so many good games are left unplayed by newer generations.
