Keeping my dreams alive

I continue to dream of building a man cave, a room for liesure. Before the man cave is made I would build a bar filled with flashback emulators of games consoles that were popular in the 90s decade; 80s Nintendo (NES) ,Super Nintendo, Sega Mega Drive, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, PlayStation one. The 80s Nintendo was known as N.E.S. or Nintendo Entertainment System, it was still popular in the 90s and they were still making games for it at the start of the decade, even though it used an 8 bit processor. The bar would be in my sitting room. I may add other licensed emulators for systems that were less well known like PC engine and neo Geo. 

I would imagine the reaction of visitors, they would say "Alan, do you have a Bar in your sitting room?". I would say sort of. "They would say it looks like a bar". I would say it is a 90s gaming bar and there is no alcohol there, just soft drinks" I would say it is a bar that takes you back to the 90s. 
They would then ask me if it was expensive, I would say "Not really". The back of the bar is just shelving units, the bar table is just boxes with a laminate panel stuck to the top and the TV screens are second hand first generation flat screens I got from charity shops. Old flat screen TVs are good because the emulators work better when they have less pixels to upscale to. The stools are quite expensive and the fridge with a see through door isn't cheap. The novelty lights on the shelf doesn't cost much. However it is growing and eventually a whole room would be required, there would be lazy boy chairs and a big screen to play modern games as well. 

The 90s gaming bar would eventually just be a part of the man cave. A whole room for liesure.
