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'm fine with most any way, so I don't necessarily have a preference.

Emulators on default settings usually work fine for me on PC. I do enjoy games on original hardware, but that's expensive anymore for any of the good titles, for the most part. I can technically say I do have a dedicated emulation handheld with the used 3DS I bought and soft modded and, if I ever set it back up again, emudeck on my steam deck. Both are fine. It's all fine by me so long as I can play games.
