Games: Original hardware is the best way to go of course. But with how expensive its becoming you might need to take some liberties like using flash carts and piracy. Getting your PS1 modchipped back then was a surprisingly common occurrence. Emulators existed in the 90s too, but don't expect them to be as accurate as what we have today.

Music: Got an old black stereo from '93 that only plays cassettes but a discman is hooked up to it so I can listen to CDs on it too. An old iPod touch streams 80s/90s music from Spotify in offline mode to the stereo through an FM transmitter. Of course CDs are going to be your main format with the occasional cassette. Acquire some CDs from bands like Green Day, The Offspring, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Alice in Chains, etc. Don't forget 80s music, people didn't just stop listening to 80s music at the turn of the decade and 70s nostalgia was in full swing.

Other: Don't forget to go outside. Staying inside for days on end is very much a modern thing due to the advent of the internet and as much as I love my set up, this decade's culture and technology wasn't meant for you to be home all the time. Get some friends over occasionally too, you guys can blast some Green Day while kicking each other's asses in Street Fighter while pigging out on Pizza.

Coming home after a long day of work and walking into a 90s time capsule without having to worry about the batshit insanity that is social media or endless other internet distractions, the choice of simply turning on the TV to watch 90s shows, a movie on tape, playing some Super Nintendo or browse the old web for some "new" video game news is unironically the most comfy thing a man can ever experience. Of course, I don't live every day like this as there are a bunch of modern commodities I like and rely on. This is only one room in my place that's like this, but its fun to go back from time to time and remember what life was like before the digital age.
