Modern video games are amazing. With lifelike graphics, realistic physics, extensive artificial intelligence, and online multiplayer options, today’s video games are so much more sophisticated than older games.
That doesn’t change the fact that some of the greatest games ever made came out in the 1980s and 1990s, and that many of those titles still hold up. It also doesn’t change the Gen X/Early Millennial nostalgia for sprites, cartridges, low-res polygons, and CDs. Whether you swore by the NES, the Sega Genesis, or the PlayStation, there’s a new, modern console for you to replay the games of your youth. Even better, these consoles leverage contemporary technology, so you don’t need to worry about digging up analog video cables or buying graphics upscalers.
Here are the best classic game compilation systems you can get now, along with a few other options for retro gaming. If you want to play on your computer, we have a list of the best emulators, too.
