The "Swiss army knife" of retro gaming pleasure - fifteen console systems playing eighteen formats in total, one master controller, one SCART output, one power supply, one custom made switch unit. All with original console hardware, no emulation or clone systems. It is the most comprehensive multi retro gaming console made, that uses original gaming hardware. Three years to build, about 3500 hours and at a cost of around £700. No, this system is not for sale it is a one-off system, however on my website http://www.made-by-bacteria.com I do give comprehensive guides on making such a unit.

So, yeah, some insane genius has stuffed pretty much every console ever made up to the Gamecube inside one box, and it looks just as monstrous as it sounds. He calls it Project Unity, and apparently what it's supposed to be the ultimate retro gaming console.

For an idea on how complex this thing is, the controller alone has six shoulder buttons, twelve keypad buttons, four action buttons, a D-Pad, two joysticks, and a rounded D-Pad just for the Intellivsion. Also, you apparently have to change motherboards for every different kind of controller. The crate itself contains about 18 different consoles and handhelds jammed inside the thing, from the Atari 2600 to the Gamecube.

It's great that somebody's figured out how to make something like this, but the amount of time and effort put into something like this is still mindboggling. I'd say I want one, but I wouldn't want the hernia from trying to carry it inside my house.

Cool! I wonder how he disperses heat inside the box?
