Stuff That’s Cool: Retrode 2 USB Adapter for Vintage Video Games [VIDEO]

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of playing video games with friends.  The hot video game systems back then were the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.  Between my friends and I, we had both systems, and all of our gaming bases covered.  We had some great times.

Then, of course, a year or two later the next system came out, making all of our Sega and SNES games obsolete.  But if you were wise enough to keep all those old games, then 1) I'm jealous, and 2) you can now play them on your computer!

Behold: The Retrode 2!

Now I'm really kicking myself for not saving any of my old games!  But no, I just HAD to have the latest and the greatest.  I just HAD to sell all my old games and systems and buy new ones.  *sigh*  Oh, well.  I'll just have to find a different way to get my nostalgia fix.  This is still a pretty cool gadget, though, huh?  Here's of video of how it works.
