/vr/ - Retro Games

Is the mini Genesis worth the $80 if I plan to add more games to it? Is the experience of playing on one of these better than simply emulating games on my PC with a six button Genesis controller? This purely a subjective feeling, but I'd like to know how often /vr/ uses their mini consoles over emulation. The biggest pro seems to be that I could easily plug this into my TV instead of my computer or laptop.
