I know it is cheap now but I just can't justify keeping it around (and I know my wife would hate it). I would love to get all the old Sega consoles such as Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast.
Saturn and Dreamcast emulation are pretty good these days, so you can relive all these games if you are so inclined.

Street Fighter 1 had no impact whatsoever, and I could never understand street Fighter 2's popularity.
Well, it invented the genre of the fighting game, which is basically endlessly complex

The fighting game genre was invented years before Street Fighter 1. Like I say they were underwhelming.

There's a world of difference between SFII and its successors on one hand and all the efforts that came before on the other.

I agree, but SFII was incremental improvement. It wasn't like it created the fighter genre. There were load of fighting games around before and during SFII hit the scene. Of course it was the most popular but the point i'm making is that, historically, it was nothing new.

But... it was. It's like trying to argue that Super Mario Brothers was nothing special because there were already a bunch of games where you controlled a guy and jumped on enemies. While it may have been derivative in some sense it was such a huge leap in sophistication that it turned a marginal genre into a huge craze.

I felt the same about Super Mario Bros. At the time it was just nothing new.

MAME allows us to relive those moments. Biggest issue is controls, unless you invest in a proper control console. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME
I recently got a HORI Real Arcade Pro and it's excellent.
The other thing that makes MAME feel off is the screen. 27" iMac may be a very good screen, but it's not a good CRT with the glowing pixels of the past.
