My Retro Gaming Collection & Games Room

My Retro Gaming Collection & Games Room



I take you for a look around my games room, at the vintage computers, retro consoles, and classic handhelds in my collection.

I need to thank my wonderful wife, Andrea, who's been incredibly supportive of me and my hobby, and bought me several consoles over the years. I also need to thank many viewers and friends who've donated systems and flash/sd card solutions...

RetroGameGirl, GigerPunk, TeamVVV, ArcadeUSA, RetroHQ, Ninjabearhug, Novabug, PaulSpydar, TheGreatBritishGamer, PSI236, (non-youtubers) Rod @TheFutureWas8Bit, Mark from Bolton, Mark from Fareham and Rob from Shropshire. Not forgetting Gearbest.com and funstock.co.uk (Please let me know if I've missed you out from here... my memory sucks these days)

... and a big thank you to the many, many people who've donated software over the years. There are too many to list, but you know who you are, and I appreciate it greatly.
