Old vs. new

Of course there's room in our lives (or not?) for both, just wanted to see what y'all preferred.
I recently went back to my Sega Genesis and CD games, then my good ol' Atari 2600. The 2600 games are better for quick gaming bursts; Genesis and CD are annoying when you have chronic fatigue and have to put the game on pause as you either nap or you have to write down passwords to continue later. I've been happier with the 2600 stuff as a whole, as games that I know will take longer I can set aside time for those. Plus I know they'll work, unlike the 'scratchy' generation of cds and the like.
