Retrospelsupställning

Retrospelsupställning is a Swedish term that translates to "retro game setup" or "retro gaming display." It refers to the arrangement of classic video game consoles, controllers, and often the associated television or monitor, for display or play. This can range from a simple collection of consoles connected to a single TV to elaborate setups designed to evoke nostalgia and showcase the history of gaming.

A typical retrospelsupställning might include consoles from various eras, such as the Atari 2600, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1, and others. The goal is often to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional display that highlights the design and evolution of these iconic gaming machines. This can involve careful cable management, custom shelving, and the use of period-appropriate display devices like CRT televisions.

Beyond just playing games, a retrospelsupställning can serve as a focal point for social gatherings, particularly for those who share an interest in retro gaming. It allows enthusiasts to share their passion, introduce new players to classic titles, and reminisce about past gaming experiences. The term emphasizes not only the technical aspect of connecting the consoles but also the deliberate and often artistic presentation of the collection.
