@retroguybry @loudscotsbloke 🤣🤣 I thought the exact same thing Bry, what's with the size! I am running out of space over here, aren't we all!

@VirtualJames @loudscotsbloke I have one of these, picked it up a couple of years ago. It does have a lot of playable games worth collecting and the console is quite robust. It’s just annoying it’s so damn big!

Me: not buying any more retro Also me: what’s that? Sure why not 😅 surely you don’t have one of these @loudscotsbloke?

@66mhzBrain @loudscotsbloke Thanks 66 that's good to know. I'm glad it enjoyed some success. I had figured it was a 2600 generation machine. Pretty cool that it's got a keyboard too

@VirtualJames @loudscotsbloke We had one of these when we were kids when everyone else had an Atari. They are quirky and cool. The games have a vibe of their own. Magnavox designed it, Philips owned Magnavox, no one in Europe had heard of Magnavox, everyone had heard of Philips, hence rebrand.

@VirtualJames Bring it on!! 😉😁😎

@iainwanderson68 @loudscotsbloke Ah nice one Iain, I've never played one so am looking forward to giving it a whirl. Tbh before I was offered it, I'd never seen or heard of one either

@VirtualJames @loudscotsbloke Me and my brother had one of these. The joystick used to jam after a while as I remember. Wasn't very impressed with it even then, if I'm honest

@loudscotsbloke 🤣🤣 darn it I'll get something you've not got, one of these days 😅🍻

@VirtualJames Certainly do mate!!

@gordoslair @loudscotsbloke European mate, says made in France underneath so assume so, unless they're all made there

@VirtualJames @loudscotsbloke European version of the Magnavox Odyssey 2?

44 YEARS AGO – In 1982 I launched the Amstrad 7090, the world's first ever commercial portable radio/cassette player to incorporate TWO cassette decks – enabling the user to tape tapes! Amstrad set the template and in the years that followed, every audio manufacturer in the world – including the Japanese and European giants – produced twin-cassette audio units. The British Phonographic Industry claimed that tape-to-tape equipment was inciting people to break the law by copying music. Amstrad countered this by putting a Copyright warning at the bottom of our advertising.

@AtariFan72 I hear you mate, as a collector, it's a great piece. Agreed pacman is legendary

@VirtualJames I did the same but I had to have this one too. The Pac-Man pac-in game is one of the best you can play.

@Jeanna350 @GRCinemaTicket

Commando (1985) or Roadhouse (1989) ??

@Y2John84 Me too. I can’t look at that actress without saying it how he does, in my head

@VirtualJames I always remember how I shivered when I first heard this.

Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman...

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many... Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

@greayson2532 @gordoslair Looks awesome, 8-bit wasn't it? I had the Sound Blaster 16 in my Pentium 90 PC

@gordoslair SB 2.0 is one of the most exquisite things Creative has ever made

I would love to own the legendary #SoundBlaster 2.0 model CT1350 released by #Creative Labs in 1991 It was the last major revision of the original SB family cementing the audio standard for #MSDOS-era video games due to its low cost and high compatibility #cms #GameBlaster

@VirtualJames @CPCGAMINGDEMOS @amstradplus @AmstradPower @PicduMatin @Jerres12 @AmstradCPCGames @amstrad1978 @AmstradGGP @amscpcworld @turk182es It takes getting used to, floaty jumps but it was atmospheric. Nice exploration game, sequel to Nonterraqueous

@Evergamer16 @CPCGAMINGDEMOS @amstradplus @AmstradPower @PicduMatin @Jerres12 @AmstradCPCGames @amstrad1978 @AmstradGGP @amscpcworld @turk182es Is it good?! I've not played it, trying to see if I've got it now!
