EMU's are nice due to the fact that they keep your pocket fat yes. Also back when I had an SNES and played a friends SEGA i NEVER beat any game that i played lol so i finally get to beat them with EMU's LOL.

to play old games that you can't buy anymore. emulation rocks.

You can still buy old games at EB games, Movie Trading Company, Ebay and etc.It is just a pain the butt to find all the old games.

The $8000 NES: ( http://wire.ggl.com/2007/08/13/the-8000-nes/#more-207 )

Not bragging though - between the SNES and N64, I paid out a lot of greens myself. $500-600 a system plus $40-20 a SNES game and $60-40 a N64 game. I should hate Nintendo really. :p Even got a few arcadian machines for $200-400 tops a piece (I have an addiction to Dig Dug, Mario Bros, and Bosconian).

Emulation may be "FREE", but too late for the many others before... As for me: my wallet is pretty slim these days...

The only difference is you using those "save-states" before those "death-defying-jumps" pal, while repetitively restoring them until you get the result you want. Just kidding ya - LOL ;)

You must live in a very lucky area then, because outside of the Internet, I haven't seen retro games for 8 and 16-bit consoles and the handhelds from those eras for at least 5 or 6 years, and probably closer to 10

There's a Wal-Mart fifteen miles down from me, seeming to be the only store available to shop at, (of course you know what crap they have - LOL), though if I want to travel two hours into town (Gilbert), there's a little gaming store that sells from cartages to manuals from the Atari to the N64. A little shop I use to go to, but lately these days I've been shopping on Ebay... ;)

Emulation is good because of save states! It didn't keep my wallet fat, call me a sucker, but I actually obeyed the 24 hour law way back in the day. I even ordered some japanese games (Final Fantasy 3, 4, and 5) from egm just to play the translated roms. But yeah, save states all the way!!!
