Then that may be what he ends up wanting. It would be no different than it is now—some people are nostalgic for pinball machines, others for Pac-Man, still others for SFII, etc. It is all about what you did as a kid.

Well, I went ahead and built him one, too.  ;)

I never thought about this.. I'm sure my children will get nostalgic about our Mame cabinet.. I'm glad I spent the time and money to do it right! I would hate to see them build a book shelf with a TV in it..

My boy's in that "want to grow up to be just like Dad" phase...
keeps telling me he'll build me a Transformers video game when
he grows up.

Also says he'll make me a Composite Superman (re:  my action
figure hobby) too.  I'm more impressed that a 4-year old knows
what "Composite" means.   :cheers:

You never know what will be considered cool 15 or 20 years from now. Maybe emulating the BYOAC pioneers will be the "in" thing...

Only if you're poor ass broke and trying to do an entire project as close to $0 as possible. At that point, that person might want to reconsider his or her priorities.

actually, if you were trying to recreate something from 1998 twenty years from now it could cost a bit because you will find it hard to find any working hardware from that era- ps2 keyboards, 500mhz processors, and especially monitors...
