I recently got an Atari 7800+ and a copy of Tiger Heli - I have played that one game more in the last week than I have played all my emulated console games in the last year - it is true that if you have unlimited access to something then it loses all value, as ive paid £25 for that game I am going to play it!
I am still keeping my mame emulation setup as I have no other way of playing arcade stuff, but even that I am trying to whittle down to just those games that I played years ago, rather than scrolling through thousands, playing for one level and then playing a different game.
Hopefully my collection will expand to pc engine, mega drive and snes again, and then I can just buy games like I did years ago and actually enjoy them. I also have an AES+ on order and, despite the fact I can play all the games anyway in mame, I ill be buying my games and actually playing them, instead of just being a collector of roms.
