This IS the droid we're looking for!
I haven't posted any "mods" before but this one is just too cool to not share. From Hack n Mod comes an amazing Star Wars mod, an R2D2 cooler that has been transformed into the ultimate gaming machine... er, droid.
While I haven't been able to find any "specs" for this one of a kind gaming droid, it looks like this R2 unit can support games for NES, SNES, Sega, Playstation (of some sort), N64, Dreamcast, Xbox, and guessing from the picture, what looks like Atari. If that isn't impressive enough for you though, how about the built in sound system? Similar to his movie counterpart he also has a projector so you can play your favorite game on your favorite system on your favorite wall. This really is an amazing creation!
There are some gaming systems out there that you can buy that will play a number of old systems games, such as the Retro Duo NES/SNES System found at ThinkGeek. It looks pretty sleek and saves the space of needing to have two old systems. As cool as it is though, it's hard to compete with such an impressive droid. I can only imagine how much time must have been spent on this project, as well as all the cursing that must have gone along with working in such a small space with so many electrical components, if only I was this handy.
All this talk about gaming... I think I'm going to go play some Super Mario All-Stars.
