1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I usually end up going with emulators because the only old system I still have is my Genesis. Even with that though I sometimes prefer to play sega games on an emulator because of the saving feature where as on Sega I’d have to sit there until I beat the game or hope it doesnt decide to randomly freeze and cause me to start all over again. That said, I still need to break out the ol Genesis or Dreamcast every now and then and get down with some old school gaming. It makes me feel like a little kid again :)
