Nintendo 64 Games and the Pi B+

I am in the process of going through the Nintendo 64 games, all of them, and creating a spreadsheet. As you may or may not know, the N64 is a very difficult system to emulate, and as of now, it is not really all there. There are several N64 emulators on the Retro Box,...

Patrick Ferre - The Grandpa

Patrick Ferre - The Grandpa

Grandpa Gaming, formerly known as The Skeptical Geek, has been in love with video games since the first Space Invaders machine came to his local mall when he was 12. Knowing he was witnessing the birth of something incredible, he proceeded to tell all the adults in his life that this was going to change the world. Naturally, they all thought he was insane.

A software engineer by trade, Grandpa build the first Retro Boxes for himself and his roommate just to have a way to play all his favorite games on his big screen TV. It occurred to him that this could be a viable business idea when people close to him started asking where they could buy one. Thus, SKG Retrogaming was born. Because of his silver hair people started calling him Grandpa Gaming as a joke. It eventually occurred to him that this was an easier name to remember, and decided to rebrand as Grandpa Gaming of Las Vegas.
