Well, I have a little 'museum', and every single reaction is very positive, whether it's from a computergeek or not. I'd reccomend an Atari 2600, (with the 32in1 cartridge). It boots fast, it has huge pixels (so, a huge retro-factor), easy and addictive games... And it's being played on the most when I got visitors.

I'd make it a total 80's corner, if I were you. Otherwise it'll be overlooked by many.

Sounds like a great idea to me!

But be warned, don't use emulators - for one thing, you lose all the nostalgia factor when using an emulator - a C64 just becomes a blue box in a window,
There IS a fullscreen option in almost every emulator, you know. And I know there is one in VICE. Added to that, using original joysticks (with a joystick-to-pc interface), tv-out of the pc, and it'll be quite useable I think. :-)
