Ey up!

Awesome! And certainly not off-topic! :shock:

Although emulation for most of the older games is practically perfect, I guess nothing can beat playing the real things! :)

A stunning collection you have there. If I read this correctly, is your Star Wars sit-down currently hosting Return of the Jedi? Atari's Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back were two of my favourites.
