Retro Bartop
« on: May 11, 2026, 11:25:16 pm »
Here's a retirement present for my co-worker, who casually mentioned months ago that he loved the old Atari 2600 game Megamania.

Batocera running on an old rpi3b I had laying around. The marquee and control panel artwork was inspired from the Megamania box art. I added a Turbotwist spinner from my long defunct cocktail cabinet so he could play paddle games as well. I curated a list of mame, Atari 2600, and Atari 800 games. Overall I'm really happy with the size, aesthetic, and ergonomics. Now I need to make myself one just like it  :lol

ooh I love the retro aesthetic of that! Great work, I'm sure he'll love it!

What type screen do you have in that? Is it a vertically mounted TV/monitor or something?
