i may be too young to play pre 2000 systems, although i started playing at 6 in 1992 on snes.
I don't see the point of playing on a old system while all games from these eras can be found legally on newer systems (For example, most snes games that are hold dear by people are on post 2000 systems (switch online, gba/psp, others)
Even if you want to play a game like super mario bros, you don't have to use a nes or snes for all stars or gameboy for deluxe, you can use gba nes classic, wii all stars, switch online )
Technically, i have some pre 2000 games on compatible pre 2000 systems (ps2, playing ps1 games, gba for gb games)
It would have to be very specific to use an old sytem for old games with games never released or not available on newer systems.
My 5 years old tv doesn't have scart anymore, my 1 month tv only have hdmi, only my 15 years old 3d tv still has everything, and even then i could play all gb games with a gamecube and gameboy player or a gba and all ps1 games on ps2 and most on ps3.
That would leave some non released atari, nes, snes, n64 or sega systems games. Sure, there are, but most well known games have been rereleased since.
