Fair enough considering I have a few retro consoles.
Sega Genesis & Dreamcast, and PS2. The others I wouldn’t consider retro yet. Maybe in a few years, though, but not now.
Definitely looking in the future to get my hands on a Sega CD, Saturn, and Game Gear to have all the greatest retro consoles I could think of. Though that’s far off because of how expensive they are.
Nintendo starting at 64 (because divorce dad was cool dad). Picked up an Analogue pocket and am currently working my way through the GB/GBC/GBA catalog. Also got Ecco for Genesis working. It really feels less like playing a game, and more like experiencing a culture.
It reminds me how important all these emulator projects are at keeping games alive.
That’s funny, I’m at the very ass-end of GenX, and wouldn’t call myself a millennial to save my life lol.

Try emulators for the Game Gear. Some games were great, some sucked big time.
But seriously, try Defenders of the fucking Oasis, it’s awesome. And all the Sonics sucked, forget those.

Definitely don’t have a problem with emulating games and will probably emulate those titles, but I’d absolutely love to try on actual hardware since emulators can’t come close to that feeling of using the actual console.
