Default Old Video Game Systems (Neo Geo, Genesis, NES, SNES...)

I like old video games, not like Atari or Colecovision, but mainly NES and SNES games.

I still have my old SNES, but I keep kicking myself for getting rid of my NES with my 60+ games (pretty much all classics). I'd do anything to get them all back...they were all in perfect condition with boxes and manuals. Now, a collection like that goes for $500-$1000 on Ebay.

Anyway, I'm thinking of shelling out the cash to get them back...and I also want to get a Neo Geo too. I know they're really expensive, and the games cost an arm and a leg...but I'm having the urge to play classic shooters and games like Metal Slug and the fighting games.

Any suggestions guys? I know there are AES and MVS versions of the Neo Geo...and I think the MVS version does the same thing as the AES but for a lot less money (???).

Any thoughts?

Get a GBA they are releasing all the good old games all over agian. I personally have a huge collection of everything from the 2400 to the SNES. I had no clue that they were that expensive on ebay or the like. But I have a copy or two on crono cross, secreat of mana, and the like.
If you just want to play then get a emulator.

I have no idea where to get emulators. I know that the NES emulator is called NESticle, or something like that...and the SNES emulator is ZSNES (???)...but I dunno where to get them.

Anyone?

How about the games?

Do a search. I'll look through my bookmarks. My youngest bro plays classic SNK and Capcom games on a NeoGeo emulator. So many emu's out there.
