Daxam - welcome! What an awesome story, and like many here our Retro adventures are still evolving, too.
Do you have a system you're building or using right now, or still working out which direction to go?
Several here are on C64s (check out the BBS thread) and many are on every Amiga possible (500s, 600s, 1200s, 2000s... still waiting for some 3000s and 4000s to join.
) Some are purely living the dream via emulation, and some geek out on some pretty wild mods with modern tech.
All Retro is good Retro here, and if at some point you dive into Atari or Sinclairs or whatever - we'd love to hear about it!
Thanks for joining and looking forward to hearing about your experiences.
Peace
