There is a reason many good old games can't be easily played on modern hardware.
If you're not allergic to 5-10 minutes of looking at protondb or other resources to understand how to get the game running, this isn't a problem.
I've not yet found a difficult process for getting old games running. They've been around so long that the community has typically documented everything you need to know to get up and running.
I mean... I am used to getting things like modding skyrim on linux, so this is not really a topic needed to preach to me.
But I met countless people who will give up after three repeats of basic installation attempt.
Emulators solve a lot of those problems
Exactly why I added the world "easily". Those who can and know often overestimate what average person can and know.
You can pay more if you just want the Nintendo or Blizzard official remaster. But all the stuff is accessible
