A little more detail on my 486 machine: AMD DX4-120 32mb RAM ATi Mach64 ISA 4mb Orpheus II w Dreamblaster X16

My little retro setup at the Geekenspiel Four Corners office is coming along nicely!

What Radeon card you think they’d be using in this Win Me Y2K era build?

This old Fisher TV makes a pretty serviceable Commodore 64 monitor, among other things…

Kind of an interesting Goodwill find over the weekend. Still need to test though.

Finally had a chance to crack open the Sega CD and replace the system battery and the drive belt. ✨

Limited Edition. ✨

HUGE thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth this weekend at VCFMW! This was the crowd waiting for me to draw the winning number for the mini Win98 PC. 😎

All set up! Come by and say hi if you’re here!

Oh you’ll definitely remember now.

Giving away this beautiful little Win98 pc on Saturday at VCFMW. If you’re there, stop by my booth and grab a ticket for the drawing! 🎟️

I’ll be at VCFMW this weekend so if you’re there, stop by and say hi! I’ll be giving away a Win98 pc and have some fun stuff for sale. ✨

The humble beginnings of a retro corner in the office of Geekenspiel North… 😎

🎂

Fulfilling orders remotely for a couple of weeks but it’s still business as usual! ✨

Ah, if only… ✨

Good evening all, a big announcement! Kytor DC power adapters are now available on Console5 and the direct store, including the elusive Triad to SNES adapter and Sega Genesis (1 & 2) Tower of Power cables. These are extremely high quality 18 awg copper cables. Links below!

The cobbler is finally getting some new shoes. ✨ Ol’ hooptie circa 2017 on the left, new hotness on the right.

Shoutout to @geekenspiel.bsky.social for existing and making my rig geekier and adding 5 fps more to Quake 3 and Halo CE 😌

This a chonky boy right here. So chonky in fact that it won’t fit in my Fractal North case. 🫠 North XL ordered…

Time to get to work on my first modern build in 8 years... 😬

Currently a WIP but as I usually do, I’ll be giving away a simple Win98 gaming setup at VCFMW this year. Amazing how much time you can put into a “simple” setup… 🙄

This was originally a Brick Multistation (Brick was a common OEM brand in Norway in the 1990s). Yellowed beyond repair, but I found some drives that matched it quite well. Stickers from @geekenspiel.bsky.social adds the final touch! Classic MS-DOS gaming in progress!

Taking a little summer vacay so… it’s time for a SALE! 😎

It’s retro-brite season! ☀️🔥☀️

Sadly I think this 850MHz slot A is ded. 💀

Everyone’s talking about the sequel and I’m still stuck on the prequel… 😍

Get ‘em while they’re hot (or not?)… 🤔

Spending a few days in NYC… ✨

Me build vibes... ✨

So fun revisiting these but I feel like it’s definitely harder to see them than it was in my 20s & 30s ✨👀

Doing some work on the Nvidia Trade Show PC to add a SATA dock to the front so I can quickly swap OS drives. (Shoutout to @geekenspiel.bsky.social for the Nvidia sticker for the front, really ties it together!)

Definitely the right price. 😎 Yes, I bought it. 👍🏼

Everything old is new again… 🤩

NEW DOOM, NEW LGR! youtu.be/imFr96t_XuA Reviewing the 2025 Doom game from id Software and Bethesda, now with shield-based parrying and medieval melee combat. A wild departure from previous games for sure, but is it for the better? Let's find out in this LGR review!

Some Plextors aren't badged, so @geekenspiel.bsky.social made one, so the world will know that you are a person of class and distinction.

Ordered 20 nos (empty) DS cases via eBay for ~$30. Received 20 *brand new* DS games. 😂

The Fractal North case is definitely a vibe, but not very sticker-friendly. So I made a press-fit dome badge holder for mine. 😎 The file is on Maker World if you have a North case you want to add a badge to. ✌🏼

If you didn’t make it to the event, this will be the next best thing. 🧳😎

Best Practices 101: Lock your desktop when not in use. Even better, use two padlocks. 🔒🔒

A little bit of everything in this order…✨

Gotta love Moms that save *everything*. 😃 Also: geekenspiel cameo! 🤓

I show up for a good build, but I stay for the “stupid stuff”. 😅

On this day in 1985, Michaelsoft released the Binbows operating system v1.0. The groundbreaking os would go on to heavily inspire another far more successful competing product and be forever relegated to obscurity. 🤓

“More human than human”. That’s our motto.🦉

♥️💚💙

I’m always surprised at how quickly people find new (and kinda odd) stickers in my store without any promotion from me. 😅

So, wake up, Mr. Freeman…

These Windows 11 X-style case stickers have been surprisingly popular. ✨

I hope everyone is safely situated at their workstations...
