It's in your name. You can't go back now!! You are to blame for my efforts too e.g. your 3DO YouTube repair videos! 🙃

Yes. Had to stop myself from buying and fixing more!

This 💯

My retro hobby, which really started during lockdown, now gives me great satisfaction in other ways. I rescued a busted iPod from a charity shop, fixed it and chose the music to put on it instead of letting an algorithm feed me stuff I'll never own.

It was what I had and I made it work! I've somewhat over-compensated these days with options I never could afford then.

Getting a ZX81 when it was new and not having a tape deck. Typing in my very slow missile command game in basic every time I wanted to play it after powering it up.

Happy that I've already found those people over here after giving up on the 🐦 site!

Love watching repair journeys like this. Good luck!

The Gentrification of Video Game History We’re not all suburban kids who got a Nintendo 64 for Christmas

The arcade game Alien Versus Predator playing on a CRT TV

Absolutely delighted with my budget MiSTer and 1994 CRT television combo. My little home arcade in the corner.

Ha just about everything! What a collection!!

Is there anything you do not have? 😍
