SUN Ultra 1e 167mhz from 1995 as a classic gaming machine. Solaris 2.6. ScummVM, Dosbox, native Doom and Quake, MAE/Apple MacOS7 (runs many mac games at full speed.. SimCity 2000, Wolfenstein 3D, etc, and a SunPC x86 accelerator card running Win95, Win311, and DOS.

Hey Necron!
This is really cool. I like the whole setup, very cozy and great gaming vibe!
Do all the games under ScummVM run at full speed? Really great idea here!

Wow!

WoW, that’s an awesome setup!

The combination of native Solaris + MAE + SunPC is a really neat way to run a lot of operating systems in one small package and (possibly) simultaneously. Very nice!

Sounds like a lot of fun! I mean the picture in itself is already wonderful
. Those were the times, when games were sold in real boxes with real printed manuals and real extra stuff. Drakkhen (for Amiga) just comes to my mind. It included a booklet with the whole back story - great read and great inspiration for me as a teenager. You don't happen to have it in your wall, do you? EDIT: Oh, you indeed have it! Nice.I wonder if you would also make a video about it showing everything? Or maybe make a whole series out of it - i.e. one video for each thing - I'd love to watch that series! A howto about how to set that up would also be cool, thinking about my Ultra 10 here or better my Ultra 80 for the looks.

That’s an awesome collection!
Awesome presentation!
It’s always great to see consoles in a collection, as they definitely have their place!
I spot a “Trashcan” I still use mine as my daily driver!

As Irinikus stated, very nice presentation!
