The best part, all those carts and Arcade cabinets on just a few space saving convenient discs.
Agreed, I still don't understand why people give me weird comments/looks when I say I'm playing a game on an Emulator on the Dreamcast. It's just for fun, why not enjoy what the console is capable of?

Haha yeah, that too :P

Obviously emulation on the PC is better though. I just don't like it as much though, There's something about playing retro games whilst sat on a computer close to a monitor. Just seems wrong to me lol.

I agree completely. I'll take pretty much any version of any game on a console hooked up to my TV over sitting at my PC.

I was playing some Master System games on the DC last night... good fun.

Oh man, a classic! Love Johnny Woo two gun mode. :D There are also custom Quake levels for the beloved Dreamcast.
