Our Take

Okay so this is giving major "I toook myMac mini to the living room and now I'm playing old school games" energy and honestly? That's kind of clever — you're not buying a whole new console, you're just hacking the Mac mini you already have into something that sits on your TV and makes you feel like it's 1999 again. The question is whether this actually runs well or if it's one of those "cool concept, janky execution" situations, because Product Hunt isn't giving me enough to know if they nailed it or if it's just a fun idea that falls apart when you actually try to play.
