Man, I'll never forget the amazement I've had when 2 decades ago about how I could replay nearly hundreds to a few thousand games at the time, from Atari through Game Boy Color. All through one computer, through emulation.

Arcade gaming is amongst the most disrespected of the games from video game companies. A lot of them are shoved to the side when they no longer are getting quarters and it's a dime a dozen that some see digital re-releases, if the companies even get the performance right. Because they'll just outsource to DotEmu who has a knack for slowing down Neo-Geo games for absolutely no reason.
