Not OP but I wanted to chip in. I love the "pick up and play" aspect of older games and consoles. I don't have much time to game anymore so I just don't have time to sit in front of Steam waiting for GBs of updates before I can even start playing (there are a few franchises I'll make the effort for - the new DOOM, Wolfenstein and Deus Ex games to name a few).

The console I'm getting the most use out of at the minute is actually my old Dreamcast - I can hit the power button and be tearing around in Crazy Taxi in less than 2 minutes. Always good for a laugh when I have a spare 15-20 minutes to kill.




The Switch is pretty good for this, since there's a ton of games you can take on in short play sessions and the console can pause one active game at a time indefinitely.
