An ebay-purchase in quite good condition. Consistent yellowing of course. But a good base for a Gotek floppy-emulator. ;-)

The Atari 7800 gamepad. This beauty was apparently never released in North America, but was reportedly the default pack-in controller for the UK and Australia. It’s not the best gamepad ever (The buttons are a tad sticky, and those grooves are just pain weird), but if the alternative is the Pain-Line joystick, you’re not going to complain. If you have an Atari 7800 and don’t want to get Carpal Tunnel from playing Ninja Golf, then you need to track down one of these gamepads.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
The Atari TT was Atari's flagship computer, boasting with a 32MHz 68030 CPU. When I learned about it I always dreamt of owning one, but back then there was just no way I could afford one.
But despite moving on to PC the dream was always there to one day own an Atari TT. And in the beginning of 2012, I was finally able to lay my hands on one on Ebay from Germany. When checking it more carefully it turns out it was sold on Ebay from Austria a couple of months earlier. It was then equipped with an extra graphics card and that owner had moved the two extra serial ports to the case, that's how I recognised it.
To my absolute horror it developed some bad hardware errors after a week, crashing all the time and refusing to boot, but luckily it turns out that since this is a relatively early model, most chips are in sockets, so all I needed to do was to push down on some chips to make it work again. But since then I'm really careful about not moving it about too much.
I've got 16MB of TT-RAm for it now, replaced the cooling fan and the clock battery. One of these days I plan to retro-bright the case as well.

The September 25, 1983 Alamogordo Daily News reported that the little dump had been selected because scavenging was forbidden there and because the dump’s garbage was crushed and covered every night. Nevertheless, one entire truckload of games was hijacked and allegedly driven down to Mexico to be copied, Alamogordo teenagers snuck into the landfill to dig out free games, and area stores were suddenly besieged by people trying to sell them Atari’s shoddiest products. To stop the site from being looted further, many of the games were crushed by D9 Caterpillars, and a layer of concrete was poured over what was left.
The Daytona Arcade Museum is Florida's largest playable collection of classic 80's arcade games. Along with that, it's also the world's largest active exhibit of Atari artifacts from Almagordo, NM (Reference "Atari: Game Over" on Netflix).
For $20, get access to over 100 fully restored arcade and pinball machines. They also have retro consoles available for play.
Since you'll probably spend all day there, the museum includes a craft beer and wine bar with fresh baked New York style pizza available to order.
Of note, look for the Neo Geo arcade cabinet with an emulator containing over 600 80's/90's games including TMNT and Metal Slug.
I couldn't fit both the circuitry and the battery in the enclosure, so the battery is taped to the side. Punk!

The second shelf in the Room of Doom is dedicated to the laughingstocks of the 90's (Excluding the Virtual Boy, which really deserves a shrine to itself...)
I've got the Jaguar, 3DO, CD-I, and Turbo-Grafx 16 (Which isn't technically from the 90's, but whatever...)
