    As fun as retro computing and gaming is, I’ve found emulation to fulfill that itch for a more reasonable price.

    I use Qemu/KVM with virt-manager, I’m currently playing with Windows XP and trying to get games like AOE2, Warcraft3, etc running on it. Eventually I may get an old white LCD 4:3 monitor.

    Retro handhelds like the Miyoo Mini Plus, Anbernic RG35XX-H & Trimui Smart Pro are cheap and fun portable retro game handhelds, they are becoming very popular and the firmware mods are getting better.

      Yeah I’m also well into emulation. VICE for commodore stuff, and omg how good is exodos! WinUAE for Amiga. I still long for the actual hardware though, I’ve got an old DOS machine and love it, though even that is still a bit too “new” (it’s a PII)
