Roly's Arcade

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

@RetroBrothers x.com/retrogamesnow/…

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

@RMCRetro Love an Electrocoin cab. The Midi is my favourite small Jamma, converted it to run dedicated Track & Field

Cab has arrived!
