Memories of gaming in the 80's & 90's with a focus on the ZX Spectrum, Amiga, 16-bit consoles & arcades. Also a bit of modern Playstation from time to time.

It's wild that The Getaway is now an explorable 3D time capsule of the British high street at the turn of the millennium.

We released gta San Andreas 20 years ago. October 26, 2004. Game releases were different back then. It took 6 weeks for the DVDs to be produced, boxed and distributed. Patches over the internet were not yet a thing. For us, all of the stress had happened at the cut-off point, 6 weeks prior. No big issues had come up. Most devs had taken a holiday and we were already thinking about our next project. Digital distribution didn’t exist yet. Games were typically released on a Tuesday/Wednesday in the US and Fridays in the UK. Same for SA. The internet was crap and apart from a couple of trailers, gamers didn’t know too much about the game. For big games, stores would open at Midnight before release day so that pre-orders could be picked up. I only later found out, the publisher has to pay the stores to make these late openings happen. I went to the biggest store near the R*North offices, which was HMV on Princess Street, Edinburgh. Even though it was a drizzly night, the line meandered all through the store and spilled out onto the street. It was mind-blowing to see all those people so excited, going home to play the game all through the night.

Great Yarmouth has an 80’s arcade again at Merrivale Model Village on the sea front. Among the usual Simpsons & Ninja Turtles cabs there’s also Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Continental Circus, Final Fight, Galaga, Donkey Kong Jnr, Mortal Kombat among others. Worth a visit #retrogaming

@tomdkeating Yea, I’m not sure the quietness is a bad thing. There just seems to be an increasing amount of retweets and junk on Twitter.

@speccynostalgia Trying to use Bluesky and threads more, that said both are quieter than twitter but that’s not a bad thing.

I’m beginning to find Twitter more and more cluttered with non-retro gaming content and adverts. What are the apps that others are trying for a cleaner feed? #retrogaming

#DeadSpace final boss was easier than I remembered (3 attempts), but why can’t you skip the cutscene!? An AMAZING remake and so good I played straight through again on new game + to get the secret ending.

@MarkRJones1970 It's good that you still have them. I lost all my early Speccy, C64, Amiga and ST art! I never really had any reliable backup until PC HDD and also DeviantArt. So much stuff lost to time! 😫 I do still like to try my hand at Spectrum compliant art from time to time though! 🤓

Just getting around to playing the #DeadSpace Remake & it’s fantastic! It’s fifteen years since I played the first game so while the story is familiar I can hardly remember a single bit of the levels. Shame the second game isn’t getting a remake.

So images of Retro Games full size “The Spectrum” have leaked. Looks to include 48 games pre-loaded and like their other products you will be able to load games via USB. Will you be picking one up when it launches on the 22nd of November for around £99? #ZXSpectrum #retrogaming
