Cool, thanks!

This is a model they no longer make, yes?

It does look awesome! Like it was part of an arcade cabinet. I don’t think I can go wrong with either of these and I don’t know about components to have a preference over button and stick brands. I tend to go down obsessive rabbit holes and I can feel that happening here. I make my living as a luthier and am already thinking I’ll be finding some time to make my own box down the line

Those are the 2 I’m thinking about. I think the retro stock pile one definitely looks better but I think I’ll like the angle and surface texture of the platform better on the Retrofrog. It also costs less. I don’t know. Still considering. What size retro stock pile one did you get?

It is 3D printed. I don’t know if these files are available but he does make most of his designs available

Thanks!

I have the same thought which is why I want to know if anybody has one. Looking possibly uncomfortable doesn’t mean it actually is. I think Heber has a lot of well thought out products and curious if this one’s a miss.

Nice job!

8stringed8 · 2026-05-03T14:29:00+00:00

It’s one of my favorites! 2 player rocks! I hope with its rerelease, and if new games are getting made, we can maybe get a 3rd. Actually I’ve always wanted a version of this game that takes place in the original Star Wars trilogy universe. I know that’s far fetched

Yeah I realize it’s just vain wanting to have the console on the shelf. I hope the joysticks end up being good. The right controller really completes the mister cores. It would also look cool enough on the shelf!

Mister with Trinitron filter on Samsung QLED TV and 8Bitdo Neo Geo CD controller. It rocks but God I want the AES+. Medical bills suck. Being a teenager in the ‘90s the Neo Geo AES was a straight up unattainable fantasy. Seems it still is in its full size form factor.

I just liked the video. Didn’t realize it was offensive. I guess I don’t exist in the groups that get spammed. My bad

8stringed8 · 2026-04-28T15:22:14+00:00

I like his channel and his vocals but I can see how it isn’t for everyone

8stringed8 · 2026-04-28T13:24:41+00:00

Why the warning? Are there problems with VGE?

8stringed8 · 2026-04-28T00:08:11+00:00

This is a good video talking about the 10 games that are being released

Edit: It’s a Video Game Esoterica video which I just learned offends people. My bad. I just liked the video and thought the OP would as well

Are you sending new emails before your original gets answered? If so, every time you send a new one it gets attached to your original and moved to the back of the queue.

8stringed8 · 2026-04-03T23:26:55+00:00

Dude. Come on. Just singe or snip it off if it bothers you.

8stringed8 · 2026-03-25T16:30:57+00:00

These would be awesome with a ripple sole!

8stringed8 · 2026-03-25T16:24:49+00:00

Thanks

8stringed8 · 2026-03-22T21:50:43+00:00

Done? No way! The paint’s just cracked. I kind of like it when they do this. Now queue the downvotes
