My retro room.

Your retro room is simply fantastic; it's essentially a world that developed between the '80s and the early 2000s 🤩

Are the arcade cabinets original (perhaps with modern hardware inside, with Mame running the software) or are they reproductions? (they're still exceptional, though)
“Comunque la monetina da 500 lire (o almeno così mi sembra) per giocare a Super Street Fighter II è un must!” 😁

For other users, sorry for the Italian text; I was talking about inserting old, out-of-circulation Italian coins to play Super Street Fighter II (watch in video).

It's all beautiful; I hope to do something similar one day. For now, I'll have to make do with a little space on my desk and keep the rest in the box 😅

Not sure if I'm more jealous of your collections or just the amount of space you have to set them up properly!

I used to have a small office room in the house where I live (my wife's house actually) but now it's a room for the one of my daughters 🙂.

So, in 2022 , I transported almost all my retro equipment to the house (my house) where I grew up and I made the living room as a retro computer playing 😁 room 😀.

In the house where I live, I have an Apple iMac G3 and a Philips cd-i console.

It’s all gone now.
This is what a home computer room looked like in Silicon Valley California.
We used Cable modem networks.
