And if the PowerPak is a "cheat" and defeats the point of playing NES software on an original console, what do you think the point is of purchasing a reproduction? It's no more legitimate than a PowerPak would be and it's just as much of a "cheat" as a PowerPak and just as easily substituted by emulation. If anything, it's more of a cheat since reproductions are usually copies of products completely out of reach to the average classic gamer, products that didn't even really exist back in the day like English translations of Japanese exclusive software, unreleased prototypes, etc. A PowerPak is not only useful for such specialties but also opens up the vast majority of the commercially released NES library to a PowerPak owner on original hardware (The benefits of which are numerous, even if someone owns a complete library).
