About

I bought every retro game ever. It's a good thing I backed them all up because all the originals were destroyed in a fire. https://linktr.ee/techdweeb

But you don’t NEED to BUY one of these to have an awesome RetroBat emulation drive - you can steal one! Or you could make your own I guess… Maybe I’ll show you how to do that some time if you ask me nicely…. --------------------------------------------- - SHOP HERE!
