pinball at home is a lot more fun when you dont need to keep dumping in quarters! Had the machine for nearly 3 years now and it has definitely paid for itself with how many games have been played during that time

Been considering a bar top setup but wall mounted somewhere in the garage. To take up minimal space. But yeah would have to get a raspberry pi setup up and running before doing all that. Unfortunate, my first generation pi won’t support some MAME games I want to be able to play so I would need a newer pi, at least a 3. First generation one seems to run fine but the audio is skipping lol. It’s always something.
Currently it’s just a laptop and my cheap fightsticks.

I have a pi3 B+ and run this build of retropie and it is fantastic. So many games, way more than id ever play. Very well made, lots of attention to detail. Highly recommend.

I have also bookmarked so many "bar top" cabinets which actually are built on and around a mini fridge. I have debated this too but my mini fridge lives under my bar so I would either need to just make a bar top cabinet or a full size thatll take up way too much room.
The next game I want in my basement is either another pinball machine or shuffleboard.

Ok so in the last month, I bought an original NES console that came with Final Fantasy, SMB3 and Blades of Steel (Schteel!). Then I bought a PS2 with a bunch of games. And yesterday I picked up an N64 so wifey and I could duke it out in Mario Kart 64. So much fun! I ordered a Super 64 multicart so that I could enjoy games like Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye and Mario Party without having to hunt down and pay the premiums for the original carts.
Anyone intro retro gaming? Here I go showing my age again but I find myself often times playing old nes, snes, and arcade games. Wanted to see if anyone else shares the same interest on here. Unfortunately I don't have room for an actual arcade machine else I'd source an old cabinet, restore it, and make it play all the games. Just to name a few faves off top of my head:
mario 1, 2, 3
battletoads
super mario kart
super mario world
gradius 1, 2, 3
street fighter 2 turbo
street fighter alpha 2
xmen vs street fighter
marvel vs street fighter
marvel vs capcom 2
ms pacman
C64 and Amiga had some amazing games too in the 80s have great memories of those

Happy Friday everyone!
I just ordered an NES multicart because I'm pretty happy with the N64 one. Just curious, what is your favorite 8-bit game soundtrack? Post a bunch that you like if you can't narrow it down to one game!
I like listening to these soundtracks while doing mundane tasks sometimes (cleaning the house or car, document design/organization, yard work, etc.). Currently listening to Mega Man 2 while I work lol.

After SNES, if I'm being honest, I couldn't handle gaming. Too many controller buttons, and I just didn't have the focus when games got more intense. Also first person shooter games just felt boring to me. NES was my peak. Loved RBI baseball, blades of steel, Zelda, Contra. Tetris and Dr Mario too, but less so.
I still recall 1988ish when a guy in my gr 8 class had super mario 3 before it was released here. Blew me away. I guess his dad had gotten it while travelling in Asia. Many hours spent in that world.
