@shoestar. There is your problem again.... Accessablity or ease of use, people don't want to fuck around having to install some disc that runs DOS or whatever... they want to put the game in and play it.

Atleast PC gives you the option of playing thousands and thousands of oldies, ranging PC games, SNES, NES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, Sega CD, Gamecube, Master System, etc....

No easu of use? Today you probably don't even need to put in the disk to play PC games (unlike consoles). You have Steam and other DD services, Cracks, and companies approaching the DRM which lets you play the games without any Disk. It's such a hassle to have to change disks everytime I want to play a different game on a console.

Unless you are completely ignorant/retarded about PCs, you can easily come up with something to play almost any old game on PC. Example, with DosBox you can play all those 20 year old DOS games on your modern PC.

 

You can play all those games on consoles and handhelds if you want as well. Not to mention portability with handhelds. There´s  scummvm and dosbox for many consoles and both psp, ds. There are also countless of console emulators available as well for consoles and handhelds.

Disk or no disk, where´s the difference. As long as the driver is not loud, data and instructions still have to get stored to RAM and caches. It´s no hassle to me changing disks, it´s actually the same hassle as eventually booting the pc, clicking on the icon and waiting for the game start up.
