I was just thinking about how there’s so many ways to play our old favorite games these days: Collecting for original hardware, playing ports and remasters on modern consoles, throwback consoles like the SNES Classic, having a dedicated emulation machine or handheld, etc.
What method works best for you? Has it changed over time?
I prefer original hardware on a CRT for most games, but for games that originally had bad performance, an emulator on a CRT at original resolution works well too.
Unless I play late at night. I try to be kind to my neighbors, so I don’t use either of my CRTs because of their flyback transformer noise. I don’t know if they can hear it through the walls or windows, but I don’t want to take the chance and disturb them. Its not that important to me.
