   There’s many “real hardware” purists who look down their nose at emulation.

   They seem to think “real hardware” is more authentic.

   But if you’re into computer gaming, you’ll get cured of that notion real quick.

   I don’t want to run things on a real Commodore 64. It takes too much space, and the real loading times are brutal. Plus, I don’t want to deal with 5.25” floppies.

     @goatsarah I didn’t have that cartridge. Didn’t even know it existed until now.

     @goatsarah @atomicpoet I had the equivalent for the Spectrum +3 - multiface 3 - so you could save the game to disk exactly as you left it. Also had a hex editor so you could pause and edit RAM to give yourself more lives.
