This should be easier than ever. Gaming laptops, SFF PCs, cheap monitors, Steam Deck like mini PCs, really easy networking even over WiFi 6 would be easy.

It's not the technology...... Having the time and the number of interested friends is the real challenge.

Or emulation. Heck even phones do a fantastic job for gaming now.
