Apparently, they have twice as many players on PS4.

Have you tried Itch.io? They have a lot of Gameboy and NES roms that are “Name your own price.” I don’t have any recommendations - I’ve just started poking around with homebrew roms myself.

Maybe I’m reading into it, but that phrasing seems intentionally vague. If it’s a permanent exclusive, they could just say so while praising Epic for supporting them.

Thanks for the answer - it’s good to know!

What’s the difference between that and this?

Doom and Neon White are on sale right now. You also might want to check out games with the Boomer Shooter tag.

I don’t know if it’s the “most authentic” experience, but for a “pick up and play” setup, you might want to look into Emudeck (www.emudeck.com). It was originally made for Steam Deck, but has a desktop version now and it pretty much automagically handles setting up all your emulators. Plus, it integrates with Steam. Russ with Retro Game Corps has a installation guide on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05dunYi6hkY&t=1s

EA App is not even a little bit better than Origin. Offline mode straight up doesn’t work in the EA App, which has been reported so many times and ignored. You can’t move your installation to another drive like you could with Origin. You can’t gift games or DLC to your friends in the EA App like you could in Origin. EA apps sucks so much that when I recently purchased Mass Effect Legendary Edition for the ridiculous deal of 90% off (on Steam), and then remembered I would have to use the EA App to play it, I immediately refunded it. Given a choice, I would happily go back to Origin. I hate the EA App so much. It deserves a negative score.
