    Default ROMs or Originals?

    Before I start, this is NOT a request for ROMs.

    Ok, so the other day I wanted to play Final Fantasy IV again so I downloaded the original SNES version but then I realised how can I be doing this? downloading Final Fantasy, I want original FF's!

    So after I downloaded FFIV, I downloaded some more for example Batman, Bomberman, Megaman, Mario, Sonic etc for various retro consoles.

    How about you guys? do you buy original retro games or simply download them?

    Which FF Character Are You?

    Second Character: Tidus
    Third Character: Yuffie

    Exactly.

    But then, several have been rereleased, making them easier to get (somewhat).

    Many thanks Christmas!

    I love to buy compilations of classic games, but I emulate all the time.

    I bought a PSX even though I have a emulator. I bought a GBA even though I have an emulator. There's nothing to compare to using a gamepad or playing on a wide-screen TV.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I download ROMs, but sometimes I just don't feel the same when I play it than when I do on a console or something.

    I love having the originals, but having the games on my laptop as well is great! I also was young and couldn't beat some of the older games way back when, so I got them again for an emulator and finally beat them. But for the most part I prefer to actually own the games.

    For SNES games I get the ROMs, seeing as my SNES remote does not work. Also I am too cheap to buy systems so that is why I am using N64 emulators at the moment. I think for any old school system I would most definantly emulate, unless I have the game. Speaking of which, WHERE did my NES go?...*ponders*

    ROMs are superior in the sense that there free, but nothing beats playing a game on a widescreen with surround sound.
