Upper management (my wife) has approved an "urgently needed testing device".😉 So I bought this #Atari 7800+ that I'll use to test a new release. What a beauty😍 and it's quite close to the original 7800. #RetroGaming #Atari7800 #Atari2600.

Does anyone else have a collection of #Skylanders under their bed? No? Just me then.😅 One day I'll hopefully have the space to set them up properly.🤞 #RetroGaming #PS3 #PlayStation

The LS-4 joystick for #NeoGeo is now available to preorder! Head over to the shop for all the details. Also, I've added DHL as a shipping option for international folks as USPS would have been more expensive. retrofrog.net/collections/... Like and repost if you have a moment.

Finally, after more than a year of waiting, I am the proud owner of an #Ultimate64 Elite II!🥳 Not sure yet, what I'll be using it for. Probably replacing the rev. 1.2 board in my #Ultimate64GS. Thanks Gideon!🙏 #RetroGaming #RetroComputing #Commodore #C64

Today we were finally able to make some progress on the #mancave ceiling. Put up the Rockwool and then mounted some Fermacell plates to 50% of the room. Just need to apply filler and paint the whole surface. After that I'll be attacking the other half. #GamingRoom

Current mancave status: After several months it's still a mess. Luckily those dark spots on the wall are not mold, but just paint coming off and concrete showing through. So I'm gonna go with a touch of paint for now, until I can afford more.

I have the highest respect for people who make #RetroGaming or #RetroComputing things out of their home. I know the endless hours that go into such productions. Profits are minimal but these people do it for us. So here's a starter pack. Let me know if you should be included too. go.bsky.app/SgJ2Viq

My youngest made me breakfast. A proud dad moment. That's what life is all about. Not things, not money, not power, just love and the time you spend with your loved ones.🥰 #CollectMomentsNotThings #Love

And now for something completely different. My boys playing at the #BaslerFasnacht 2025. One is playing the biggest drumset, the other one the smallest snare. #Basel #Fasnacht #carnaval #carnival

I set up the #nixietube clock that my late uncle soldered for me. His hobby was restoring and collecting old radios. I guess soldering runs in the family. #tubeelectronics #Electronics #Vintage

Soldering 50 #Easyflash cartridges for the #commodore #c64 is a laborious job. So many small parts. #RetroGaming #RetroComputing

My boy found this in the recycling bin of our local supermarket. Attaboy! 🥰 I don't have high hopes that it still works, as these probably have varta timebombs integrated. Still a nice find though.🥳👍 #RetroComputing #macintosh
