Post your Retro Setup in Here

Haha, it’s still awesome though, and you’ve succeeded in giving it that blast from the past feel, along with the desk and chair.

I grew up with a C64 and had the same monitor as well as disk drive cases similar to those, so it’s very nostalgic for me. :smiley: I spent far too many school nights staying up late playing the Bard’s Tale games, for sure.

That’s a title I still haven’t tried, I really should!

Get the plexiglass. It’ll be worth it for the long run. You won’t have to worry about water stains from putting a glass down on it

Yeah I gave it some more thought, and I figure at least putting a clear coat on it is in order. That way it’ll be a cheap away to protect it.

Man, seriously one of the coolest setups I’ve seen. Your buddies must love it!

Thank you, It was a blast, I’m hoping to hold a retro gathering like this about once every 2-3 months.

I love it, very nice setup! You know I’m going to need a close-up shot of that SMS collection :stuck_out_tongue:

Is your Shinobi cabinet working?

ill take SMS shot soon then!
and it is, monitor’s a little faded but sound dripping/loud beeping is a much bigger concern at the moment…perfectly playable though!

Very cool. Certainly one of my dream cabinets, that’s for sure.
