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?

Original equipment if possible. Once I replaced my TV with a new crappy smart TV, my retro consoles obviously wouldn't work. A $25 insignia upscaler from best buy has solved all those problems except for PS2 since it's native resolution is hard to convert to digital, so it looks like crap. All other consoles look fine and saved me $300 compared to a retrotink. Otherwise it's all on my modded Wii or Xbox 360.
