Brother, have you heard of our lord and savior, emulation?
Outside of a few weird edge cases, everything up through N64 era is easily emulatable. PS2 is… okay for most popular games but still actively being worked on.
There’s even video shaders if you want to make it look like your old boxy TV. A lot of games from that era have graphics made with CRT screens in mind.
When was the last time you looked at ps2 emulation? Less than 2%1% of all ps2 titles are unplayable, and everything that I have tried playing works great.
Also, every Nintendo console works amazingly well, and the switch actually sometimes has performance improvements on some games.
PS3 emulation is doable on a good PC, same with Xbox, though I haven’t tried any newer generations than that.

Here’s the wiki maintained by people from 4chan’s Emulation General thread.
Edit: I get the preference for original hardware, but if space/money are limited, it’s a more than passable alternative.
