It can be just about the game, if it was a game that you had as a kid. I can accept that part of your argument.
But on the other side of the coin, many of us also have nostalgic moments of purchasing new NES games, sealed, taking them home, paging through the manual, etc. While as kids we didn't have fullsets, we did get games here and there. In a general statement, we bought / rented games, and then threw them into our toaster NES machines - we didn't select roms from a menu and load them up on a powerpack. The second choice lacks nostalgic feelings or a sense of familiarity.
I love that other side of the coin too, and that's actually the first reason why I like to find, have, resell retro games etc. Just don't tell me (not you specifically) the powerpak isn't like an easy access to 'play' NES video games on the real hardware. Don't tell me it makes the 'playing part' less enjoyable than the 'playing part' of video games, if you get what I mean?
