RETRO GAMING
Why I do this
I have historically been a console gamer. My journey from the world of plug and play console gaming to PC builder and gamer has its roots in my desire to revisit those lost arcade games.
The retro gaming world definitely represents some form of mid life nostalgia - and has taken me from Raspberry Pi builds to full blown custom PCs and a number of bar top and full cabinet builds.
If you've struggled to get information on how to build a cab, how to emulate your games of choice and how much it might cost. This page captures my journey - I hope it's useful to you.
