Terrific collection! Hope to see more videos!
good video thanks for doing one , and keep it up , Retro Robbins
Thanks!
Very very nice!
Wonderful ❤
23:59 Zip ties are not expensive.
My OCD has its limits. 😁
Great collection. And it warms my heart to see with how much care you treat your computers. 😊
Amazing collection and setup. Subscribed !!!
rewatched this to get me motivated to re do my 'hall of doom'.....thanks
No amiga :(
Indeed. I nearly picked one up a couple of weeks ago but am holding out for an A1200 and they're pretty rare. 🙂
Quite a collection but I just fast-forwarded through the video because the background noise was so obnoxious would love to watch the whole thing if you cleaned up the audio.
Yes, if you're referring to the high pitched noise from the monitors, unfortunately UA-cam gives no ability to replace a video in-place once uploaded. Most folks old enough to have used these machines in their day can no longer hear the noise. :) Consider yourself fortunate.
I would die for this collection...
My dream room 😊
love your game room sir! very nice!
Thank you kindly
Hi from Ontario Canada, cool collection. The Atari XEGS looks so cool
Living the dream! 🙂
Awesome shizzle. But no retro collection is complete without a Speccy, everyone knows that.
That's the one computer I probably still have room for!
Cool stuff
I only remember BBC micro at primary school
Good old Vectrex. I spent many hours playing Polar Rescue as a kid.
What a nice collection of machines and software! I best subscribe to see what you share in the future.😊
Thank you! I'm considering more content.
The ultimate gaming desk! I love this set up!
If you find free space on your bench you could easily maintain an Amiga 500. If you are able to repair an Atari 8bit or a C64 I think you could easily repair an Amiga 500 . The Amiga 500's "philosophy" is similar to the Atari 8bit so most faults can be diagnosed really easy with a second machine plus all ICs come in sockets!
Great room and collection. Really happy to hear about your knowledge and appreciation for the Atari 8bit line. I am jealous of your "beautiful Summer morning" and the location of your retro collection (basement) because my retro collection is located on the top floor and the days here are way to hot (Aegean Sea) so I avoid firing on any of my retro machines during the last two months of the Summer.
Thank you!
Nice room. Enjoy it.
Ouch, that high frequency sound makes it hard to watch)
Wait...you can hear that? Must be the 15KHz feedback from the monitors...I wouldn't have thought my phone and then the journey to UA-cam would have recorded it! I haven't heard it since...2005? 😊I envy your ears (and will look for a way to suppress it...)
I really enjoyed that, and watched the whole thing (thanks for the mention)! I think it's great having so many usable systems in one spot like that. Are all the shelves etc. from IKEA? It was neat to spot the EA coasters and see your actual collection.
Thanks Robin! Yes, the desk is built from five Kallax units and three Lagkapten desk tops. Everything just barely fit the 9'x6' area.
