What a year! Thank you for all your amazing support over the past 12 months. We're looking forward to sending out more Multisystem2's into the world, and showing you all the exciting things we've been working on.

Engineer comment of the week (after receiving a new prototype PCB) “Just popping to the loo before I wet myself in excitement” 🤣

All new electronic product prototypes are Schrödinger cat. As long as you don’t attempt to build them or power them up, they are both perfect and scrap at the same time.

We try hard to be the exact opposite of FOMO since 1984 😎

You can still be desirable without a ‘fancy box’ sensible, sustainable, fair.

We are all about designing, building and delivering valued products to customers.
More excited customers for the #MiSTerFPGA #Multisystem2 console.

Quick reminder, we use recycled & sustainable packaging in all our #Retrogaming products, we pack each order so it gets to you safe & secure - You are not paying for a 'fancy box' every ounce of energy+cost goes into the product. 👍
Huge thank you to @heber-limited.bsky.social as my #multisystem2 just arrived today! I'm so excited to get this up and running 😀

It’s the grand opening day of the @retrocollective.co.uk Workshop build today. For the last 8 month we have restored a Victorian Pump house into a storage and workshop space to restore Arcades, Computers, Console and more. It would not have been possible without all the support.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.
