   As I said in   
   http://news-commentaries.blogspot.com/2018/04/retro-consoles.html,   
   Emulation is cheating. You don't need a "Retro console" if you want to   
   run vintage programs for any machine. Save your money and run a software   
   emulator available for you PC/Mac.   
      
   If you need something looking like a vintage computer, do some 3D   
   printing, and put a Retropie or other boards in it.
