Actual question references "Classic videogame systems that came out before 2000, like the NES or GameBoy" and "used at home in the past year" of which 14% responded yes out of a group of 2022 surveyed in North America (demographic details available in link).

Does it in anyway phrase the question to reference real hardware or original versions?

I feel like a lot of people emulate (including using Nintendo Switch Online) or play modernized remixes of titles like Super Mario 99

Full text is 'Below are some types of visual media that some might consider old or outdated. Which, if any, have you used in the past year?' and that is an item on the list, it's not an incredibly detailed survey.

I will say from the rest of the survey responses, the demographics they've selected seem to lean more technically competent and security focused than I'd expect.
