I leave for a few days and what I hear on return? Old console emulation on Home! WOW!
I had a Colecovision and my friend an Intellivision. We spent countless hours on these. Can’t wait for that now, I have to search for more info.
Althou I put some arcade machine at my luxury lake cabin, my very first private place. My arcade is set at my Red bull skate house, and there is plenty of space left

I’m pretty sure Nintendo will hold the rights to most Donkey Kong games now so I wouldn’t hold breath for many of those I’m afraid. Credit where it’s due Burbie; you did indeed mention the idea of a pier area with arcades and pinball machines so, kudos for that. I just jumped all over the idea like an excited toddler over chocolate coz I love it so much!

I once proposed in an article that we get a real arcade attached to the Pier Park area and these types of consoles would be perfect for that, along with all of the others they can come up with. We also need a few life like pinball games to add to that idea, then they would really have something. I hope they do bring Donkey Kong and Burgertime as those were ones I really remember playing as a younger person.
Nice read as always Godz.

I hope it really does open doors, as a guy from the UK I remember games from systems like the ZX Spectrum an C64. So, stuff like Spy Vs Spy, Dizzy and Jet Set Willy would be really cool to see as well. I’d love to see things like Bomber Jack, Gauntlet, Rampage or Joust come into Home as arcades too. Although they’re a bit younger than those of Intellivision’s offerings I think there’s a huge potential for retro games within Home.

This could all be topped off with a large pier space lined with arcades, and a lovely, dark, dingy arcade hall to get lost in too!

Wow, Remember them, I still have one and most of the games for it. The funny thing is I don’t know if I still have a TV that you could connect to it. This console was the memory maker for me. I used to play it with my family, grandfather included. I still smile when I think back to those days. Now it’s coming to Home, what a way to bring back a classic console. This will be a welcome addition to home. Great read, thanks for making my day!
