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?

For computers from the Pentium era onward and consoles from the 4th gen onward I prefer original hardware. For anything earlier than that I'd rather go with emulation. I've never liked handhelds all that much so I always emulate those.
