You play all of those retro systems on a flat screen tv? Shame on you.

Must admit that I am a bit jealous of that nice collection 
Also of the mancave!
I have a small crt tv and a amiga screen just for the looks and the lightgun games.
Thanks 
As for Amiga 600, the one I really want is this one:
When I had the 500 a friend of mine had the black 600 and at the time it was the coolest computer I have ever seen (it was also the first black computer I had ever seen, so there might be a correlation there).
I am not sure how wide-spread the black a600 was, but I have never seen one in the wild since.

Woo! Just picked this up, waiting for it to warm to room temperature before turning on (to avoid condensed humidity damages)
IBM PS/2 model 30 286 with Cyrix 486slc turbo, MCGA monitor, Soundblaster and Keytronic mechanical keyboard.Not bad for 90€!!!

Nice, it even has the plastic keyboard cover 
Just that keyboard cost 400euro.Beautiful setup!
Interesting observation: DOS games in a dos emulator was “boring” and lasted 5 min max.
Now same dos games on real hardware has the kids hooked (especially Commander Keen).
Is there something that captures the imagination better when you have tangible real hardware?

One friend from Czech have made Commander Keen on ATmega.He was main developer.I have made some brainstorming, logo…The platform name was RetroWiz (retrowiz.com).
I am sad that doesnt catched so popularity as Arduboy,Uzebox.There was amazing spritemaker tool, midi tracker…

What do you guys think of the new RetroStone on Kickstarter? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/583173617/retrostone-ultimate-retrogaming-console?ref=discovery&term=retrostone

I’m not sure that’s on topic.
The topic’s supposed to be about older systems and tech, not ‘neo-retro’ ones.
(Also I’m not entirely sure what the policy is about giving exposure to other kickstarters, especially ones that feature other ‘neo-retro’ consoles, which could technically be classed as competators.)
Okay, I’ll start a new topic, and not Directly linking to other kickstarter campaigns.

I don’t really mind. The world is full of gadgets. I hope people get interested in Pokitto to learn stuff. If its about how different gadgets work, thats ok.
For me , Rasp Pi game consoles are not “competition” because they are just computers running emulators. A different idea completely.

Ah, fair enough then. Glad that’s been clarified.
(The Arduboy forums have been a bit less relaxed about it in the past, hence my concern.)
In which case, @Beau the linking was fine, but it’ll still be better off as its own topic.
For the sake of future readers, here’s a link to the new topic:
