My Raspberry Pi Game Station!

Last year, Nintendo released a throwback NES Classic Edition that sparked the nostalgia of millions of people. The NES Classic, selling at retail for $59.99, was preloaded with 50 classic NES games and can plug into any monitor/tv that had an HDMI input. Unfortunately for me, the Classic Edition sold out within minutes and were quickly selling on eBay for over $200! After a couple weeks of FOMO, I decided to look into a Raspberry Pi, and how I can use it as a Game Emulator. Turns out, with a little bit of know-how and youtube tutorials, its completely possible! I was able to install over 77 NES games! Take that Nintendo! I also was able to install my favorite Gameboy Advance and Nintendo 64 games that I absolutely loved to play as a youth. Plus, I was able to use my Xbox One controller for all these games which made it that much easier to play with. All in all, I spent about $40, which basically covered the cost of the Raspberry Pi since I had the other supplies already at my disposal. It was a fun project and I have already made a couple other Game Systems for my friends since they liked it so much.
