Old But Gold, huh? This was an interesting comic. I like it! Made me think about stuff.
Emulation is a lot more convenient. It may enhance the experience with increased resolution, savestates, romhacks and what not. It takes up less space in your room.
But that feeling of playing on real hardware. Probably a combination of nostalgia, the proper controller and just seeing the games displayed the way the devs envisioned them, it's wonderful. No emulator can fully replace that.
Hey, that logo! I remember using Daedalus to play Mario 64 on my PSP, haha. The PSP was my first emulation machine. What a joy. I used it more for emulators than actual PSP games.
It's weird, I rarely play my old consoles nowadays because I'm afraid of wearing them out and one day being unable to replace them. Hmm, nothing lasts forever.
I guess it doesn't really matter how we enjoy the games, the good thing is we keep enjoying them.
Edit:
What kind of person would want Tingle in their room? Nonono.
Edit2:
In some cases savestates ruin the experience for me. I cheat myself by using them, it deprives me of any feeling of accomplishment.
