In comparison: http://www.xgamestation.com/

Build your own video game system, run atari-esqe games on there. More avenues for fun in my book.

yes, and I highly recommend reading André LaMothe's books (xgamestation's sole creator) and his posts on the xgamestation forum (user necron). He's an highly skilled hacker and entrepreneur.

The xgamestation products seem good, but the website is awful. I've been there on and off several times over the years and never purchased anything because I've given up. There's now quite a few different products, but not a good overview of the differences. And the faux game look and feel is tedious and hard to read. View -> Page Style -> No Style helps somewhat.
