Martin Koch's "Retrospace" Entertainment Center
Nov 28, 2008 at 12:00 PM 
In 1971, Atari's Nolan Bushnell brought us the first ever modern arcade cabinet – the bright yellow and decidedly groovy Computer Space.Dutch designer Martijn Koch has now decided to commemorate Bushnell's success by recreating the ancient machine, though with some shiny new features to help it keep up with the demands of 21st century tech. At its heart, Koch's Retro Space is a good ol' desktop PC, emulating an arcade machine by playing backup ROMs (100 of which are bundled with the cabinet – all fully licensed, of course).
The machine includes a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU sporting a 120GB hard drive, 2GB RAM, and even Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities.
The 24-inch screen's in Full HD 1080p, and with two 90 watt speakers, it means that, as well as gaming, Koch suggests you could use his machine to watch movies or make video calls.
