Project Unity brings together 15 gaming consoles capable of playing games from 18 different systems.
The unit was created by hardware modder Bacteria and took around 3,500 hours spread over three years to complete. It converts the multiplicity of original consoles into a single unified gaming device with one power supply, one SCART output and one master controller.
But why not just use emulators rather than create the custom ?700 device? "They're not one to one copies of playing the originals," explains Bacteria. "Playing on original hardware feels different. You don't just play a retro game you experience it."
If you're wondering which consoles made the cut, you'll find the full list below. It translates to 18 systems overall because the Atari 7800, PS2 and Game Boy Advance also offer backwards compatibility.
- Amstrad GX4000
- Sega Master System
- Atari 7800
- ColecoVision
- Intellivision
- Sega Megadrive
- Super Nintendo
- Nintendo 64
- Nintendo Entertainment System
- Gameboy Advance
- NeoGeo MVS
- Nintendo GameCube
- Sega Dreamcast
- Sega Saturn
- PlayStation 2
According to Bacteria, the original Xbox didn't make the cut because it "was going to take too much room, use too much amperage and also frankly, I'm not interested in its games, so no point including it."
Project Unity is not for sale, however Bacteria offers guides for modders interested in creating their own version on his site, made-by-bacteria.com.
