Dude! I have a IIgs with an accelerator, sound card, storage on CF, ethernet...it's a fully featured machine! And all I've done with it so far is play Oregon Trail hahaha

Have you heard of the RetroPi project? It's really insane. You use the OG Amiga hardware, custom chips, etc., but the CPU duties are relegated to an emulated 68k core running at high speeds on a Pi CPU daughterboard. It's nuts. Super cool.

Nice! The Atari ST is a fun little machine. I have an STFM that I'm trying to convince JP to snag from me, because I also have an STe that I plan to use for my daily Atari fix :P

I /almost/ caved in and got an Atari Falcon but it's not really meant for my purposes, which is retro Atari gaming. It's got compatibility issues with games so not for me.

Plus, the STe can evidently work with a PiStorm. So I'll be doing that. :P
