Those companies do everything they can to make it as hard as legally possible.
There’s a pretty thriving retro scene… you can buy any of the consoles listed here fairly easily.
You can even get better and new alternative retro consoles. As in consoles with HDMI out and upscalers that will run old games.

Konami and Nintendo? Yeah I agree they’re too litigious. Still, it’s trivially easy to emulate though.
you can still play them!
Off I go doing a crime again
But... anime-girl buried them, so they're kinda hard to access.
That's lain you heathen
Why did Lain bury all the Atari 2600 games, tho?
They stole all of her Reese's Pieces.
You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
Are there still? Did they leave most of em? I thought a bunch got sold off to patrons of that dig attempt.
Oh shit! You’re right! I never read about that.

We still talk about how many of your cartridges got buried in a landfill.
Yeah nintendo still sues communities trying to port oot to a more modern engine xD.
Shit, I still have a working Genesis.
Same!
Me too. I like to play Xmen 2: Clone Wars and Bubsy on it. I've been thinking of getting an 8bitdo for it so I can play it wireless with my PS4 controllers.
The 8bitdo wireless Genesis controller is pretty good and faithful to the original.

I think I have three of the damn things.
They just keep popping up like mushrooms. Same thing with Gamecubes.

Old video game nostalgia can be easily cured by trying to actually play them today. A lot of them have aged...poorly.
I've actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.

Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.
I'm playing through Jade Cocoon right now. These games aren't dead.
That game was so cool! So many wild combinations of monsters to make, such a neat setting

You didn't need the attribution line. With just your quote we all heard it in our heads.
POWER UP!
AH AH AH AH!
I don't know what you're talking about, I play three of these systems regularly.
Amiga I still love you
Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.
I'll let you go out in style.
Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that's how far I got in the game.
This picture is way too sinister, unrelated to this being a meme
Every time i see it i have tears coming

Last year I bought an original 8 bit Nintendo system with Super Mario and Tetris ... two games I grew up playing for hours and hours. I hadn't played them in years and I thought I should buy one just to have on hand because they'll probably disappear and become unavailable in the next decade or two (assuming I'll live that long ... lol)
I bring it out once in a while just to play it and get frustrated as I try to remember where, when and how to run and jump through level 8

I got a Miyoo Mini very recently and have been playing a lot of games since. I can't put the thing down for long at all!
