I grew up playing emulators, so I don't really care that much.
Thenagain, I was scared of fullscreen games :)

I still have that fear when it comes to full-screen games from the
Win9x/early XP era. They were so... FRAGILE when it came to running in
full-screen (or, more importantly, when you tried to alt-tab out of
them). Back in the '95 days, switching away from a full-screen game
could lock up your computer (these days, the older game might lock up,
but you're PC will keep running fine otherwise. That's progress, I
suppose).

Nah, I was way more irrational. Was outright scared bc I couldn't close
it as easily. Then again, I mostly play games in windowed mode nowadays
bc it's easier to have other windows open in the bg.
