One man's trash is a maker's treasure! Clem found a super8 camera in the trash and soon realized that the original analog films and the processing is crazy expensive nowadays. So he creates a replacement for the film cartridge that turns the super8 camera into a digital one! But that is easier said than done!

Buttons, switches, and voice commands are overrated. What if we could control electronics by playing music? Would this be practical? No. Would this be fun? Oh yeah. Join DJ on his journey to build a reverse music box that will only open once it detects the right melody.

Matt used to hold the high score for every light gun game at the local arcade, but he's a little out of practice since the switch to modern, flat-screen, high-definition displays. Longing for a new challenge, he decides to build a gesture-controlled variation of the classic NES Zapper that will work on modern screens through emulators such as RetroPie and MAME. It's a new take on retro hardware based around an LSM9DS1 and ATmega32u4 that not only breathes life into otherwise forgotten games, but also provides an entirely new hand-eye coordination challenge!

Matt longs to relive the "glory days" of hobby computing, but he can't decide which direction he wants to go to fill the retrocomputer-shaped hole in his heart.

Inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's, it is a jump scare game based on a security camera system emulator. The premise of the game is that a 9 year old boy sleep walks and it terrifies his father for some reason only to be understood at the end of the game.

Fleamarkets can hold a lot of junk but also treasures, Clem bought a 70's medical device which was used to examine the heartbeat of unborn children and hacks it into a retro style synthesizer. Get the B.O.M. on element14: http://bit.ly/2Qzzj8u

In this Very Special Christmas Episode, Matt declares war on the hapless ornament, tears it down to its shell, and rebuilds the
