Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “A Portable Arcade For The Super Wealthy”.
So this is probably gon na be a fun one, a limited edition, arcade machine which is handmade by a company or a guy, a guy named love Holton, it’s like $ 2,700 and there’s 50 in existence. So this should be interesting. Let’S put it that way. Hopefully, we’ll play a couple of games here: certificate of authenticity with the pen mark love, halton does hereby affirm the authenticity of this statement. This is number 43 out of 50 completed in 2018 arcade rw1 edition.
Don’T you feel special already man holy the inlay on top? Is genuine mother-of-pearl, the joystick and buttons are custom made from solid brass eight thousand milliamp hour battery, which is capable of three hours of play time on the run on the run, I’m not sure what you’re running from and a game library of 32 gigabytes up to 10,000, emulated games. Sweet! Oh, look at the pac-man, miss pac-man! That’S miss pac-man right with the boat wow, that’s wood! Oh you start by unscrewing this piece and then that guy flips open strong, retro vibes happening here inside there’s an LCD. But then you’ve got this overlay, which gives you the appearance of like a retro television set, and then this piece it just screws into this location over here. Okay, let’s go through the systems; real, quick, nine games on Atari, 2600 game boy; name: nine games available Master System; that’s a throwback! Three games available Mega Drive, Neo Geo, Nintendo 35 games available retro pie.
So obviously, the guts of this thing are raspberry pie and it’s got the emulator loaded on top of that Super Nintendo 19 games and that we’re back to Atari who’s excited all right. Let’S uh, where can i play here Jack that you can get a good view? Let us play it’s got. The vibe of like a a high-end watch, might come in a case like this or some really fancy con yak. It’S got a luxury hand made feel to it.
It’S a bespoke product. Let’S try Game Boy, I’m wondering if there’s like a classic Tetris on there. What what do you want can? Can I just do a classic Tetris real quiz’ Tunes are unbelievable, look how we they have it. So it looks like a tube TV that is too cool. Yes, sir, we’re gon na get at least one Tetris before we start the next game there. How are you doing this to us right now? Okay, we’re just go here and then we’re gon na get.
This Tetris see what it is without that you’ll have fortnight Epic Games. That was me on the Gameboy young Lou. I don’t – I might not even be here without Tetris on the Gameboy. Bringing order to chaos.
Will wants me to play a color game Bluetooth, so you could hook up. You can hook up a controller to this. If you wanted, I guess a Bluetooth controller yeah to player. They got Mortal Kombat NBA Jam Street Fighter 2 Castlevania Super Mario, or should I go to Genesis and see what they have there yeah? They got Sonic and Streets of Rage. Are you hearing these tunes right now, though, Jack? Listen to that right here to break down? Let’S go get some of these dudes, your dad, oh, I called in the. I did not need to use that right now, accidental, I called in the air strike unnecessarily.
This dude refuses to die over here. It’S crazy that this was like the cutting edge like if I had to pick this up at the right time. In my life like this was a life-changing experience, Oh upgrade to a pipe that guy’s got a karate, kid’ stance, though okay. What can I say? It’S a it’s a boutique item. If you brought this thing to a party, that’s kind of a hit with these old school games, you don’t really have to know too much to get into them.
It’S not like the prerequisite is, is incredible game or skill. Anyone can pick this up and start throwing some punches. You order pizza.
You have a couple snacks. You play some old-school games. You chat a little bit. The thing is it’s $ 2,700, so you’re kind of almost afraid to bring it out of the house.
It’S a boutique item. You know what I mean: it’s a limited-edition Willie. Do let’s get you in here. Let’S hear your opinion on this you’re.
The reason that this product is here to begin with, yeah, I’m a really big fan of artisanal artisanal. That’S a word. I did not use yet. I used a boutique bespoke yep, a lot of prime materials that pretty expensive. This is not coming from a giant factory where they’re gon na make a million of these there’s 50 and a guy made them all by hand, and you could tell the passion that goes into it. So I respect a lot of that.
Give us a rundown young Willie. Do young Willie do Mississauga Ontario yeah? I would rock the game boy, game boy, yeah, okay, which title Tetris for sure you just copy beam in Pokemon Pokemon was that when it was the different colors, like you had to get the yellow cartridge or no even back in the day, it was red and Blue red and blue okay, those are the straight-up legit. First Pokemon games all right, but those games were super hard. You know a side-scrolling games. Yes, oh no! It’S true, and we talked about this on the retro gaming hardware. In the past, we talked about how these old games – it’s not like. You have save points. No, if you beat the game that was meaningful because most of your friends didn’t beat it. Obviously, today gaming exists in a whole different universe in which you never beat it. Like nothing is neat about you just play video end game.
No, you just play forever. Yeah you get is keep grinding addicted to the mechanics yeah. It’S such a different mindset than the type of games that we were exposed to as a youngster.
Exactly now, I’m not trying to say that this is a solution to all of today’s gaming problems, not for everybody, but it’s a nice. I get some museum piece like if you had this thing on a coffee table in a way, it’s almost as nice to look at as it is to use yeah the fact that you can interact with it. You know and play some old-school games, nothing wrong with that. It’S interactive art, yeah and you can smell it. I guess so! Yes, can you well just well, I suppose that’s nice smelling as well. How dare you you know? It is .
