They are $59.95 but sold out on the AtGames website. I picked one up from eBay for $45 but the shipping and import duty doubled thatI'd like to play Berzerk on that thing.

Yeah you got problems, buddy. Not me though! I only collect like 3/4 of that stuff... plus a couple other things 😉Let's see now: watches, mini games consoles, vintage range finder cameras, Bolex clockwork film cameras, flight jackets, knives, books and assorted knick-knacks. OMG, I'm and addict!![]()
It's a diseaseWhen I start collecting, well, I start COLLECTING!
The arcade one is the current NEO-GEO Mini. Not what was expected so many hope for a NEO-GEO AES Mini to be released (including myself). I also did a pre-order on an Evercade some time ago but that has been postponed by a month.
Absolutely stunning design! Minimalism taken to another level. Olivetti had an equally genius designer in their midst in the Seventies. (Brionvega as well). It would be sacrilege to alter but one screw. This is another one, from my birth year:![]()
I was perusing some vintage Braun electronics and found this Dieter Rams designed television and thought of your project and doing something similar. Though this is proving difficult to find, I thought it worth a share.
Oh yeah... cool. How do you like this later Braun design? Maybe my favorite for such a project, or just to behold while unplugged! I've got to stop looking at these.
Perhaps after the Great Depression times two passesOr you could buy one ready made for $2800 (without shipping):
Shhhht, don't tell, I play a handful of games on my Retropie/TV system, these minis I only collectFascinating. Wish I had the patience to learn and play these games
My daughter (she's 30) absolutely loves these designs (I raised here well![]()

They are TV-sets but the last one I showed is a rendition of a TV that actually houses a LCD monitor and a games system like the one I have. Bespoke construction and very expensive. The original games were very small (measured in bytes) so to cram 110 games into a modern set-up is easy. I won't go into details but all those minis run Linux with an emulator on top to mimic the original hardware. This Atari is very cute, they nailed it. What's missing is a tiny cartridge and that will be my next quest. Tom, thanks for your interest in this kinda nerdy and to some childish (for a 60 year old) hobby. But that's just who I am and I don't care what my peers think of itAll of those monitors are incredible to see guys ! 😮
Now wanted to ask you Eric, and Frans !! Are they actually old monitors
from years back, or new, and made to look old? I honestly don't remember
monitors, or TV's looking like this. They are something to see !
Beyond cool ! 😎
Oh, and a giant congrats there on the Atari 2600 Mini too Frans ! 🕹 🎮
That one really is 'mini', and seems just a touch bigger than the
controller does. It's phenomenal, and unbelievable how they put
so many games within that little guy. 😃 Can see the graphics
now, and hear those beeps !
Well they are all pretty amazing, and actually beautiful.
