Retro games consoles

Been doing some retro gaming lately. Whilst I do have original systems, I have been enjoying the convenience of modern remakes. I have the C64 Maxi, The Spectrum, A400 and an Atari VCS Flashback. I always struggled with having a screen that I was happy with. Always wanted something portable but reasonably priced. I recently got a portable monitor with built in speakers from Amazon for £50. Absolute game changer. I can now play the old systems in bed or on the couch whilst the Mrs watches the big tv.

I have the spectrum and a c64 maxi had the spectrum first plugged the c64 for 20 mins and went back to the spectrum just like it better lol
 
I had an Amstrad CPC64, Galaga was my favourite game but I also had the ROM extension pack with Protext and a disc drive and printer so it got a fair bit of use as a word processor. I tried to fire it up a few years after disuse and the magic smoke came out so that was that.

Had an uncle who worked at the local Phillips factory so we all got one of these one Christmas ... pretty basic stuff but cool at the time.

Man, this whole thread has been a trip down memory lane.

I’ve been playing games since Elite and Track and Field arrived on my dads old Acorn Computers BBC Micro.

Shout out to the Coleco Vision as my first console

I used to have hours of fun on my BBC Micro along with some basic programming whilst still at school.
Mother decided I was playing "Too many" games and sold it to buy a f**n Microwave oven. 🤣

The colleco and atari consoles were fantastic for the time. Carnival and donkey Kong i remember well.
 
Im leaning towards one of those chineses Pandoras Box arcade thingies. I was looking at getting full kit and caboodle in a full size cabinet, but may just go for the cosole and a wall mounted moniter given the cabinet ones are a tad pricey
