3DO, PS1 & Atari Will

I collect ‘70s, ‘80s & ‘90s consoles. I’m terrible at games, good at hoarding, and apparently allergic to modern hardware. I have more money than sense (£3.87), and I mostly potter about in retro gaming with no real talent or plan.

Rebel Assault was eagerly anticipated. 3DO version shown. 😃😃

@LillyBeenyc Thank you! Nice to be back. Work though😕

@ste_mega Welcome back

A quite like the Sega 32X, and while this game (Star Wars Arcade) didn't thrill me in the arcades, not as much as Starblade anyway, I still find it fun. 😀

@royalmailhelp I had a feetopay, paid it, nominated a day for it's arrival. It never turned up. Any help appreciated!

So, after several attempts, Gran Turismo 7 isn't for me. But GT4 is. Getting back into it after 20 years, and it's so good!

@LillyBeenyc Me too. It's hard (clues in the name), but it's addictive once you're familiar with it.

@ste_mega I played it to death on my stfm

I very much remember loving this game in the early 1990s, despite 2 stone-cold facts. 1. It was bloody expensive. I want to say £1 per go. 2. It was bloody hard. Hard Drivin' by Atari Games.

@LillyBeenyc Being Sinclair's attempt at a 'proper' business computer. A missing the mark... LOL

@ste_mega What’s it claim to fame?

Sinclair QL is a weird machine. It's not compatible with the Speccy; it has an 8-bit 68008 CPU (yes, 8-bit), networking built in, and two (count 'em) not hugely popular Microdrives. Looks good though

I’ve got my Atari ST talking over a serial modem link to an AI that’s pretending to be the WOPR system from the 1983 film WarGames. It thinks it’s sitting inside NORAD, happily offering games of Tic-Tac-Toe… and Global Thermonuclear War.

@greayson2532 Wow!

@ste_mega A dream come true: the prototype of the fabulous Destruction Derby 2 for Sega Saturn is now available. I am now convinced that porting it to Saturn will be possible; my question is, who will be willing to do it? youtu.be/6aE9cBtAte4?si…

@LillyBeenyc @lippyent I blame these guys. Bloody Martians. 🤣

@ste_mega @lippyent Mush potatoes

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@ColonelFalcon Just struck me that calling it 'Out Run' would have made a lot of sense...

Name this game if you can! #gaming #RetroGaming #GamingCommunity

@dfilskov Yes. I think. 🤣

@ste_mega The photos are 1) after (peroxide) 2) before Right?

I assure you that 'stuff' on the keys in the second picture is Cream Peroxide. 🫤

@Seasidescriber No comment. LOL

@ste_mega I owned one as a kid with a colour monitor. I was deemed 'odd and posh' by c64 and speccy mates because of it

Fancy Retro Influences do "Trash to Treasure", therefore I'm promoting my own budget version, which is "Trash to likely Landfill". Exhibit A. (wish me luck)

@Vanamonde_Dpan I don't think you can get new ones, but there's a steady supply of used ones on eBay usually.

@ste_mega Can you still buy 3 inch disk drives and disks?

@ReviPCMR Thank you. The case seems 'ok', the keyboard is off colour, but more troublingly, there is a rattle, a heavy one, inside the case. So, we'll see... 😉

@ste_mega good luck!

@ReviPCMR Interesting. They were pretty uncommon when I was a kid. I think I knew one person with a CPC (and that was the 464) Hopefully, I can make this one go again!

@ste_mega i haven't seen this model since i was 10 years old. A friend on my street had this and i had a cpc464 with tape deck

@SeasonDeeper "Six White Boomers" Rolf Harris. I'm not even joking.

What was the first 7" you bought? Mine was Something About You - Level 42.
