FPGAs are reimplementations, to me, not emulation. But I don’t begrudge anyone who wants to be a stickler on the definition of “emulation”.

Even the original hardware “emulates” a game if you want to get down to it.

That’s how I see it too. The FPGA version are knock offs, like would have been done back in the day but with fancy future hardware. A gate level reproduction would be kinda strange aside from pure desire for preservation. (Which is still a decent goal, just not of these projects)
