What's your favorite way to play old games? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I was just thinking about how there's so many ways to play our old favorite games these days: Collecting for original hardware, playing ports and remasters on modern consoles, throwback consoles like the SNES Classic, having a dedicated emulation machine or handheld, etc.

What method works best for you? Has it changed over time?

I'm holding out hope for a good Linux build of the 360 emulator. Because, like, I love Fable II and would like to eventually finish Lost Odyssey, but not enough to keep an entire console in my collection for.

The original XBOX emulator struggled too, but now runs well on Linux, so I think we'll get there before long.
