Living in a small apartment, it can be hard to play your retro collection at a moment's notice, especially if you have a large collection. Most of my retro consoles are stored away since I just don’t have the space to have them all set up. Retro gaming in small places, like my one-bedroom apartment, has led me to the idea of having a small and moveable station with multiple consoles already hooked up. The “Retro Gaming AV Cart” is a unique twist on the traditional AV cart we used to have in school during the 80’s and 90’s. So does this make retro gaming easier, and is it practical? Let’s find out!
