Been a bit quiet on here for a while now, but with new house comes new arcade, the third @rolyretro arcade shed is on the way #retrogaming #arcade

@TheDCJunkyard The tech is very simple, all open source code, you shouldn’t have to pay for this stuff 👍

@RetrogamesNow This is an excellent tool! Thanks

Fed up with sites trying to charge for simple photo edits for my blogs, I created a free website for simple photo editing, including background removal, compression and resizing. Check it out on freephototools.com.

The Beeb version of Elite is still my favourite after all these years I'd love to play the Archimedes release, though. #retrogames

The sun has come out long enough in Shenfield for R2D2 to get a coat of primer, after applying car body filler to the joins in the 3D prints instagram.com/reel/DUvQAy3jS…

Follow my progress :)

My latest project - building a life size R2D2. Follow my progress live (link attached)

Not posted for a while, been busy building #starwars stuff with my 3D Printer

40 years ago, Ocean - under the guise of Imagine - was advertising its ports of Konami's Yie Ar Kung-Fu coin-op. This early beat 'em up evolved the genre with unique characters and very fast-feeling gameplay, plus a wide variety of moves. The ports were generally very good.

@JazRignall Loved this game retrogamesnow.co.uk/yie-ar-kung-fu…

@tenpencearcade Impressive! How long did it take? And do you have blisters?

I’ve just done something I’ve wanted to do since I was 8 years old. Rolled the score on Atari 2600 space invaders. Finally got a score of 13940. It rolls at 9990.

@sniffpetrol Ambulance chasers latest scam, masquerading as fighting for the little guy

Great news for anyone who bought a right-hand-drive 1960s Mustang on finance between 2007 and 2021.

@gamesyouloved @MyArcadeRetro My favourite 80s handheld! retrogamesnow.co.uk/astro-wars-by-…

From old to new @MyArcadeRetro

Updating my blog on BurgerTime, adding in some animated graphics - GIFs are the future! #burgertime #arcade #retrogaming

@sniffpetrol I worked in the “Long Room” of the Longbridge factory during the mid-90’s, just when BMW had taken over. The canteen chairs had 70’s orange and brown car seat fabric, and we were still selling Montegos. Wish I had kept my grey uniform with name badge

I apologise in advance for this week's Smith and Sniff in which I'm on my own in Birmingham, poking around the remains of the Longbridge car factory. Warning: May exceed your daily recommended dose of boring middle-aged mannishness. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/smi…

@Retroware @MAGFest CRT with cables in the front - nice!

If you’re at @MAGFest come play the new AVGN game on a 1 to 1 remake of the Nerd’s basement!

Updating some of my retro gaming blog posts, including this one on Grandstand’s Astro Wars handheld #retrogaming retrogamesnow.co.uk/astro-wars-by-…

@stevepen66 @LUDENClassics Law abiding citizens in the South :)

@LUDENClassics We’ve got a Lamborghini dealer in Stockport. Yet to see one with a front plate

There are token front number plates and then there is this 😬 Also, I stand by my view that McLaren drivers are an expensive version of a Porsche driver
