No insult intended. I initially did intend to cross-post it here, but I realized I had mentioned a FSXNet area and figured it wouldn't make sense, and thought of copy-pasting instead..  But my message went through anyway. :)

True.. Aside from myself, I might have a few friends who play games - and actually my older brother & his wife still both like to play PC games sometimes..

As far as these Classic Mini retro consoles, I also like having something connected to the TV I can turn on and play old console games (though the PC emulators are always cool too).
