Retro Gaming...
Gotta love it. :) It may be hard to tell from the picture, but the controller on the left is USB, while the one on the right is Bluetooth. Right now I have about twenty games on the ...
My brother and I got an Atari for Christmas in 1981. It was fun, and we played it a lot, but we didn't really end up getting into the video game craze. Years later, in 1993, I bought a Super Nintendo and a few games. It was fun, but again, I didn't really get caught up in the craze. Plus, at that point, I was on my own and working full time, so there wasn't a whole lot of time to game.
Now being "retired", I have a bit more time on my hands, so something like this thing is fun. I was never really all that into action games like the majority of people, but rather the slow paced, role playing games. Then again, I do have a few of the classics installed, like Space Invaders, Frogger and Donkey Kong. Plus, Super Mario Brothers. :p
I love these Raspberry Pi computers. The number of things you can do with them is endless, and this is just one of them, though it may very well be the most popular.
GabeU Those Raspberry PI's sound really cool. Maybe someday when I have time and money to play around, I'll look into getting one. It seems like they have a ton of applications.

They are, and they do. Just the fact that they can fit a complete computer onto such a small board is pretty neat. Actually, the Pi Zero even moreso. The thing is so tiny it's unreal. And that you can use them for so many things, including as a Linux based computer, is what really makes them great. Some of the things I see people using them for in my Raspberry Pi group on Facebook makes me scratch my head in amazement.
And the fact that their so cheap doesn't hurt, either.
The history of the Raspberry Pi, and the original idea and purpose for them, is quite interesting.
- GabeU Well dang it! You know me; now I've got to go read all about the history of it, lol!
