For those who play a lot on old games/systems, what era of games do you come back to the most, and why?

Not sure if I classify as a “retro gamer” but… IDK. This is actually kinda a hard question. If we’re talking about revisiting the actual original system? I’d have to say GCN, it’s too much of a blurry mess to play N64 on an OLED 4K display. If we’re allowing emulation? N64. Those games have a certain distinct charm to them… I don’t know what it is but nothing quite hits like booting up Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie for me.

You can include emulation or stuff like NSO or modern retro collections if you like.
