The 90s gaming bar

I mentioned earlier that I dream of building a man cave called "The Happy Zone" (no inuendo in the name). 

In the corner of the room opposite the "Hook a duck" pond  would be a bar themed with 90s gaming. The 90s gaming bar would have a proper bar table with cooler boxes filled with soft drinks and beer plus a coffee machine. Behind the bar table would be ordinary book shelves but they would be filled with bottles to make it look like a bar and amoungst the bottles on the shelf would be four small TV screens, each one attached to a retro 90s games console remake, there would be a retro Sega mega drive, a retro SNES, a retro play station one and a capcom home arcade system or something similar. The nineties was a special time for me because all the games companies had perfected side scrolling games graphics so you had games like Sonic the hedgehog, Mario Bros, Golden Axe and 3d games were in their infancy but they were charming in their own way and I was a kid in the nineties. 

The bar table would have 8 very comfortable bar stools to sit on and each retro remake consol would have two controllers, there would be a little canopy roof on the bar and places to hang gaming merchandise from the 90s like Sonic teddy bears and plastic Mario brothers dolls, things like that. People would buy presents for the 90s gaming bar if they saw anying in the shops connected to the theme.
