Retro Gaming (for those who don't know) is a relatively new, but rapidly expanding area in computing circles. Mainly for those who at one time owned the old 8-Bit and 16-Bit computers & consoles in the 70's and 80's, to reminisce about the "good old days" of computing when home computing and ... Read review
Advantages: Fantastic collection of retro games and the old consoles to go with them Disadvantages: Non that I've seen so far
