Also, talking about old systems and how you wish you still had them. You can get emulators for all the old systems on your computer extremely easy

I'm at work, so I can't put too much effort into it right now, but a few years ago when I was working on an arcade cabinet, the SNES emulator of choice was ZSNES.

If you google that and then "INSERT GAME TITLE roms", you should be able to find them.<INSERT


Then buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Nintendo-Controller-Not-Machine-Specific/dp/B0034ZOAO0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1329763936&sr=8-3

boom.

http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/mac/ Emulators for Mac. Snes, Sega ect.

I would assume the roms would work for either as long as you had the correct emulator?

I was a young kid playing Atari when NES came out...

I have also owned pretty much every system ever, just the other ones didn't happen to have a game on my "favorite" list.

For the time it came out, the Neo Geo was the most advanced system of all time. It took Nintendo and Sega many years to make a system that was comparable.
