    It’s times like this I wish I had a bigger house. There’s so much of this old tech I just want, or at least I want to see and hold them. Basically I want a hands-on retro gaming museum.

        It does when you’re collecting multiple retro consoles, all their cables, any adapters you need for modern TVs. I’ve had to make do with a Series S in dev mode running Retroarch for my retro gaming needs, and even then I can’t get it to use anything other than an Xbox controller.

      There’s a free to the public pinball museum near me, not quite the same thing but I could see the possibility of one for retro games, but they would probably have to charge a fee to prevent people ruining or stealing stuff unfortunately.

      I used to have a room dedicated to retro games and tech, but since having kids, it’s all been crammed into closets. Once they’re old enough to not break stuff, I plan to get the “museum” out again in some form so that they can enjoy it.
