Remember the good old days of video gaming? Spending hours together with friends in front of a single screen, be it the TV/monitor at home or the lovingly designed machines at the arcade? Or are you interested in discovering what set the foundation of today's blockbuster games? The Raspberry Pi as a low-cost, yet powerful platform with tiny form factor provides the opportunity to bring back those days and reanimate old treasures running on a variety of architectures. This talk intends to give an introduction to and broader overview of retro gaming with the Raspberry Pi, the emulation of heritage hardware and the use of legacy or custom controllers.
