Definitely, you can't beat real hardware for that nostalgia hit. The tactile feel of a system (with unique keyboards on retro computers) the operating sounds and the satisfying thunk as you push in a game cartridge. Then displayed on a CRT so games look as they were intended and not overly scaled up and blocky on modern screens.
