Dead Rising 2 is shit because they kill
your waifu
Metal Gear -> Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
I would never call the first shit, it's still a gem, but the second is on another level.
Ditto on Street Fighter 2 - Street Fighter 1 was horrible, unplayable mess
2D Ninja Gaidens are garbage, series starts with Ninja Gaiden Black on Xbox.
Mayby not crap but original Bomberman is pretty poor comparing to excellent sequels, especially Saturn Bomberman which is easily 10/10 geam.
Emulation isn't perfect, if you want a good experience, try finding an original console and playing on that.

Off-topic, but can you expand upon that? I was born in '81 and although I never owned a console as a kid, I spent a bunch of time playing them at friends' houses. Once emulation became a readily available thing in the late 90s/early 00s I went back and played a ton of games that I had either missed or only dipped the surface, and they didn't seem to play materially different from what I was accustomed to (but again, my exposure at that time was fairly limited). What makes emulation so different from playing on the original hardware?

(3) There are some claims that there is a little bit of visual lag on LCD monitors that makes it harder to deal with precise timing in older console games, but I have no idea if this is true or not.
Quite an informative article on something I knew nothing about; thanks for the link.

I have a feeling infinitron will end up splitting this into one of the emulation threads, but nice article. I knew some of the CRT stuff, but he seems to be taking a good approach to recreating the classic experience.
Mega Man -> Mega Man II.
It could possibly make games like Ninja Gaiden impossible to play on emulation without cheating, or make the game just feel completely different. (not sure, I've never tried it emulated)
Almost all of my console-playing as a kid was social
