Retro games are resurfacing in all types of emulators, but the Swedish artist and craftsman Love Hultén has created one that makes an extra effort if you really want a nostalgic experience. Its latest design, called Yesterday Vision, is a mid-century inspired hand-held display case that can play games from classic systems.
The vision of yesterday contains a 19 inch 4: 3 monitor designed to have the curvature distortion of an old CRT monitor. It also has broadband speakers and a built-in Raspberry Pi computer that emulates game systems such as SNES, NES, Genesis, NeoGeo, MAME, Atari 2600, N64 and PSX. You can also play modern games or connect your laptop to Yesterday Vision via an HDMI input on the back. It can also support the connection of four different controllers via Bluetooth. Use your own, or you can ask Hultén to create a pair of hardwood wireless arcade controllers during your purchase.
Hultén has designed many fun emulators, like the more portable R-Kaid-R, which made its rounds in 2016 and featured a joystick and arcade buttons, and the Pyua, a Nintendo "sanctuary" with a bubble dome. It's a strange juxtaposition to see modern technology that allows you to play retro games in a shell prior to the games themselves. For Hultén, that's the goal. By creating these strange pairs, he hopes that the pieces he makes will challenge our assumptions about how we associate the design of an object with its function.
If you want this artistic mashup of past and present, the Yesterday Vision is available for purchase at a price of 2,799 USD (excluding VAT and shipping costs).
