Not sure how long I’ve owned this cab for now (it’s got to be well over a year) but I still play it every time I’m in the shed. Arcade1Up cabs have a bad reputation but I’ve got to say that I’ve got my moneys worth with this one. #arcade1up #starwars #atari #retrogaming

A game that I used to really enjoy was Sega’s Monaco GP (my local newsagent had the sit down version) and sadly the game can’t be emulated. Thankfully there is a great remake, so I thought I’d introduce it to my son and he absolutely loves it! #sega #arcade #retrogaming

I know exactly what happened. My favourite podcast Retro Asylum has a monthly highscore game and Zeta Wing 2 is the game for April. Fantastic game, magic on my c64. Such a good game! @deanswain.bsky.social @theretroasylum.bsky.social

Treated myself to a new Transformer today. Legacy G1 Optimus Prime which is based on the original toy (only a lot smaller with much better articulation) scales really well with a KO Megatron that I got a while back. #Transformers #G1 #nostalgia

Found a picture of Dirge from the Transformers that I drew when I was 12 years old back in 1987. He looks a bit stubby but I do t think I done a bad job really. #transformers #art #drawing
