What is the best way to play Video games?

For fighters, strangely enough, my preferred method is to use a keyboard.

have you seen the Hit Box Arcade Controllers?

to be honest i like playing most anything pre n64 on my soft modded wii with a snes controller. its just more convenient that way, even though i have a ton of snes and nes carts it can be a pain having to pull out the q-tip and alcohol just to play one. i also enjoy playing retro games on my CFW psp when traveling the ability to grind a bit here and there whenever i have a few minutes of time is very nice. so is a modded wii or psp considered a computer in your poll? perhaps you should of put emulator instead of computer.

If you have to clean your carts with alcohol every time you want to play one of them you've got some issues with your consoles!

well thats mostly the nes i really need to invest in a top loader

You need to clean your 72-pin connector more like it. I mean cleaning a cart really well once is one thing, you shouldn't have to keep re-cleaning them. The pins are probably really really dirty or something.

ive replaced the pins twice already on two different toasters, they both are really finnicky they work for a month or two after a new pin connector but then goes back to the old blinking red light ive been thinking getting a toploader but i would have to get it modded for AV because RF is too atrocious.

I don't know what to tell you then. Cleaning the pins + my games has kept my NES running like a champ.

its a design problem with the side loader nes pushing the game in and down causes the pins to get bent and lose contact with the game so you have to take the nes apart and either bend the pins back into place or replace the 72 pin connector. to me thats way to much hassle so i end up just playing them on an emulator on the wii using and actual nes controller, no muss no fuss. also save states and the ability to rewind is very nice, but to each his own i know many people are against emulators. I still like having the actual carts displayed up on my shelves.

on a game system(original)
on a computer

What are you comparing? Playing NES games on real NES vs emulator or playing Elder scrolls on PC vs PS3/Xbox 360? Are we talking about playing console games like Sonic 1-3 on real hardware vs other methos (compliation disc, emulator, phone) or are we comparing the gaming experience between completely different games with each other (EVE Online on PC vs Wii sports on Wii vs Angry birds on iPhone?) You're asking all these different questions in an unclear manner so I dont know what the actual topic of discussion here is.
