    It took me a while to understand what New Retro Arcade: Neon is: it's actually a frontend emulation for retro games in an absolutely stunning environment. Once you set up all your favorite personal games from this era, you can dive in and get lost for hours (haven't tried VR yet).

    An excellent gaming experience full of nostalgia and some giggles too (read the movie posters before you think about changing them to your own… there are some nice “alternate versions” of movies).
