So i've emulated plenty of games, and it just isnt the same. Anybody know where i can find older consoles? SNES, N64, NES, and the original game boy are the ones i want the most. (yes, i roll old-school nintendo) atari and sega consoles would be nice too, but not necessary.

They come cheap as fuck. eBay and Craigslist are fine places to check out. I got an N64 with Donkey Kong 64, the expansion pack, the RCA cables, power cable, and three controllers for $30.
That's another thing: don't get ripped off. If you get a console, make sure it comes with all the necessary shit. Power, A/V, controllers, maybe score some games too. You don't want to buy a console that doesn't come with the extra perks. And they come pretty cheap too.
Best way to buy old consoles is with everything else thrown in. Cables, games, controllers and expansions. There's plenty of combo deals out there, and you'll save a bunch of money buying it all together.
Feeling cheap? Do some research on flashable game cartridges. I'm pretty sure there's ways to flash games to cartridges with connector cables. Simple USB stuff with applications that make it easy. Although I don't know anything about it in particular, but if you want the classic experience for cheap cheap cheap, it's not a bad way to go!

Also old, but Burton- Have you heard of Dragon's Den? It's in Poughkeepsie. They sell ALL old shit, NES's, SNES's, and games, controllers, literally everything. It's great, but so far away.
I don't think they have Atari's though.
