“Once, a friend brought me a Sega without any cords. ‘Here,’ — he said, ‘I found it!’ We got power from a transformer made from an old tape recorder, a diode bridge was made from a Chinese charging adaptor, and a capacitor was also soldered up from something else. The cable for connecting to the TV set was made from an old telephone wire. It was the 2000s, we played the best we could.”
