Play Arcade PCBs on your TV! | Retro Electronik Pro Gamer System Ver. 1.3 | Arcade Supergun Review

In today’s video we take an in-depth look at the Pro Gamer System version 1.3 produced by the French company Retro Electronik. This device, nicknamed a “super-gun”, allows real arcade PCBs to be played on any TV that can accept a SCART connection. Please see time stamps below to skip directly to a certain point in the video.

CAUTION!
Please note that using a Supergun to play Arcade games on your TV has the potential to destroy your equipment! While the owners of Retro Electronik have assured me it is safe, please know that there is still a risk involved. I am not responsible for any damage done to your self or your a/v equipment.
