I started my setup with a hollow cabinet I got for free and put MAME (DOS version), I made a custom pac-man in a table and later added a few skill games. For some reason I got nostalgic about classic computers and started filling my basement Atari's & Amigas ...Then Irene came and I lost 30% of my collection. Then Sandy came and I lost it all. So in the last year I decided to rebuild, I've built a Retropie system, I added a few tabletop systems as well (all things I can loose and not have my heart broken).
