Any arcade game you can imagine, from Pac-Man to TMNT and Street Fighter II and III, runs flawlessly, as do numerous classic Amiga, Mac, and PC games. Today, RetroPie is capable of emulating everything from Atari’s original Pong to every Nintendo Entertainment System game and much of Sega’s Dreamcast library. You may have heard of the hardware before – it’s called the Raspberry Pi 3 ($35) – but the software it runs, RetroPie, is less well known and has quietly become seriously amazing. Today, for less than the cost of a single new PlayStation game, you can get a small device that runs 25 years of arcade and console video games, which is to say literally thousands of titles. One prime example: retro gaming, which is taking a big leap forward thanks to a tiny $35 quad-core 1.2GHz computer and free software. It’s now possible to buy a sub-$50 PC that requires little space or energy, yet does something highly useful (or fun) very well – comparable to a larger and more expensive machine from decades past. Real revolutions aren’t fast or frequent they’re the product of many small changes slowly coming together to make a gigantic shift possible.īut thanks to declining prices and ever-shrinking mobile processors, computers are on the edge of an actual revolution. The word “revolutionary” is used too casually these days.
