Just imagine the colossal smugness of Colecovision owners in 1980's. It's too terrible to contemplate.🤣🤣😍😍👍👍
Just a reminder that in NZ, our 50 year copyright term (soon to be extended to 70 years) mean that many many more 20th century works are now in the public domain. Same for many other countries to lesser extent.

Alright, just about the start a Twitch stream of, er, OXO (from 1952!). Getting seriously retro here: twitch.tv/retrogamer_nz
Is there anywhere you can purchase or legally download the arcade or Amiga versions of Silkworm these days? (Other than expensive eBay listings that don't ship internationally.) I heard this game referenced all the time as a kid, but never actually played it.
In accordance with my deranged ethics, I’ve purchased original copies of games I intend to play on my #A500Mini.
No one knows what Sony’s new games preservation team will do, but I’m glad they’ve got one in any case.

#A500Mini owners, Jimmy Johansson has discovered the secret of booting Workbench without changes to boot-data, saved states or even using the Amiberry GUI. DH0:-DH2: are remounted with custom folders. Check out drive.google.com/file/d/1koIaN7… for his Workbench archive.
Neato.
The problem with Mega Drive/Genesis games on Switch Online is that Sega has always been really good at re-releasing them in the past. I already have these games on my Switch, my PC *and* (except for Shining Force II) my Mega Drive Mini.

“Sega reportedly aiming for Fortnite-style money spinners.” I am not even vaguely interested in these games.

I’m a lot better at F1GP on the Amiga now than when I was 11 - something I can’t say for many other games. #a500mini
If you like Gran Turismo, well, just watch this okay?

Same deal in New Zealand. Although, of the kids at my school, I knew two with a NES, and one with a Master System. The one with the Master System never went beyond Alex Kidd, whereas on NES we played SMB 1, SMB 3, Duck Hunt, Excitebike, Kung-Fu Master, Xevious, TMNT…

Bunnings doesn't sell replacement blades for the majority of its mowers, even the 'home brand' ones.
Data East's Robocop coin-op is 35 years old. It was co-licensed from Ocean (who owned the game rights) and developed in tandem with the home versions. The end result was a terrific run-and-gun platformer whose arcade and home versions were both absolutely top class. Loved 'em!
Why do so many digital only folks parrot this lie that most games released physically are incomplete and therefore validates their hollow purchasing rights? Did they watch Fox News and just say "yeah that's what we gotta do to convince people!" It's been disproved again and again

It looks like all the innovations that separated it from breath of the Wild are things that make me want to avoid and not bother with them :/ All those videos of people driving big vehicles around, I don't want to. I'd have to muck about building it for ages and then it'd break
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. PS2 games on my @retrotink2 look incredible. God knows what the 4K version will be like.

Decades of degenerative health issues slowly sapped that joie de vivre, but I’ll never forget the uncle I knew as a kid—always laughing, always smirking, always eager to indulge us. I’ll miss him, but I’m happy to have been able to create so many lasting memories with him.

I just spotted this A&B Computing reader's 'survey' from April,1988. The prize up for grabs is a Microvitec monitor. However, you need to give up as much personal information as possible to enter:- income, banking / financial status, what you drink, hobbies, social interests etc.
I'm not falling for this a fourth time.
In beautiful Langholm, Scotland on our way home from Northumberland. Decided to take the scenic route.
Great to see an Amiga in #StrangerThings4
@gamespite It's the wisest choice, but I just can't give up my cartridges. Maybe someday I'll get there, but the MiSTer is still a great all-in-one device that helps fill in some serious cracks in my collection. Never would have believed I'd be playing X68000 games on a device like this.
Writers: show me a better character introduction.
I want my dash to look like this. I'd play the Knight Rider theme while I drive.
