Do you still have an old CRT television lying around? If not, then no it would would not function the same. Someday nobody will. A lot of people NOW don't.

Yes I do and if I didn't, I could buy one.
This still doesn't change the fact the game would still play exactly the same as release.

You think playing a game on a monitor it was never designed for, upscaled, is the same as playing it properly? For one thing, stuff like Duck Hunt won't even work on a non CRT. Many games utilized scanline tricks that don't work as well or give strange results on HDTVs. Upscaling also completely destroys 2D art. For Mario Kart 64 you might be able to get a near perfect experience. But for Mario Kart original you wouldn't.
