So here's my story.

When I was a kid our family could only afford one game system and a couple of games to go with it. Here's what I owned:

NES

Super Mario Bros, Kung Fu, Wrestling

Genesis

Sonic 1 and 2, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Columns, some sports games.

As yo can see I missed out on a lot of games and the whole SNES library. Now that I'm older I really want to play these games, however my wallet isn't particularly fat right now nor will it be in the short term future. I already made a list of the games I want play and they're all fairly popular games. Since I don't own any retro consoles my plan was to buy the Retron3(along with 2 controllers for each console) and buy the games on ebay or something similar. I don't want to start a game collection, my intention is to buy games that I plan on playing.Based on your experiences, is it difficult to find games for the NES, SNES and Genesis fairly cheaply and in good condition?

My other plan is to buy a really good gamepad for my PC and play the games using emulators. Honestly, which route is safer and will give me the most satisfaction?
