I've been into retro for years. It started with a general curiosity about the history of computing and slowly included learning about the hardware itself.

But it didn't include much gaming until this year. 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 2️⃣ 4️⃣

Maybe it's part of a mid-life crisis, but it dawned on me that most old systems are now just museum pieces, except for systems where gaming was a thing.

Those still have life in them. Their game libraries keep them alive.
