@bacongames: I've got a fairly high end pc, so that might be the definitive first step. I would like to get ahold of original controllers to play it though. I'm not sure if that becomes a problem with pc, or if it would be the easiest way to get them to work.

Considering the games I'm most interested in getting the nes classic for are all on Nintendo switch's subscription service, the switch seems to be the best black and white option. I was considering a switch for my kids lately, but I'm guessing the new oLED models are probably impossible to find atm.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on what makes the MiSTer the best way to play. In my mind, image quality and responsive controls are the most important. I get the sense that guys that are really into retro gaming want the "closest to original" experience rather than the "highest quality" experience.

...So I looked into Switches, and they seem to be readily available. Since I was already thinking about one of these for the kids, this seems to be the best answer. I'm surprised they've actually got a decent selection of classics... I knew asking questions here would make me spend money. I think I'll have an OLED ordered within the hour.

I grew up in the 90's and my first system was a SNES, and I've been wanting to get back into some SNES/NES and other games from the 8/16 bit era. One of the biggest series I have interest in playing through is the early Zelda stuff, but I'd be up for trying out just about anything from the era. Because of this I've looked into the NES classic lately, which seemed like it was shit on pretty bad by the guys when it came out. I've heard MAME brought up countless times on here, and have recently started seeing a lot of recent youtubers run videos on the MiSTer. A neighbor just dropped $150-200 on a "refurbished NES" and I can't believe that's my best option either.

I'd love to get a bit of direction on where to try first. I can afford most of the options out there, but still don't want to waste my money either.

THANKS!!!
