I think the trick is to mod the consoles when they're gone. Then you can at least
pretend its an 8bit system once and a while. Even the kids might like it. My wife
accidentally left me home with the wii and it was quite quick and painless to get homebrew
code on there. The kids (young) don't know how to get to it yet but have enjoyed the
nes games quite a bit. My younger daughter surprised me with the comment that Galaga was
"the best game in the world. "

Yeah, I've found that hiding wires is a good plan. I also plan to set
up an 8-bit computer lab in the loft. She never goes up there. I've
been trying to get that room for ages, but children (teenagers) keep
rotating up there, as they rotate out of the house.
Here's hoping the oldest one doesn't come back (to live). (;
