Wow! I used to watch that all the time!

Just bought this beauty for the second time. First in 1986 and now in 2025, only 39 years apart! It still has the card attached to the inlay to claim my free gift but that may have expired now unfortunately!

I’ve seen your photo’s before in the same place and wondered what the big circle on your wall was. I’ve just realised that it’s the bloody mirror! 😂😂

I’ve somehow this morning managed to buy a Mister Pi, looks pretty decent and the price was ok 😀

I drove through Wakey the other month and it was like a film set with all the shops that were shut, I’m surprised I didn’t see tumbleweed blowing through the streets! I agree about Trinity Walk, loads of shop’s but nothing of interest. The old market hall was great

Yes that was JAT! Just round the corner from the bus station. EGS was in the Ridings on the same floor as Top Man and Beaverbrooks if you know it. The market was demolished and replaced with Trinity Walk, not sure about the market now as I don’t go to Wakey that often now as I live in Barnsley

EGS and JAT Records in Wakefield were my go to shops

Don’t know why but Rambo on the Speccy. Maybe it’s that superb loading screen that’s embedded in my memory 😀

Got to admire your workspace - bread, kettle, toaster, Vectrex 😂

I got it for quite a while. I’m sure they once did an article on the XR4i which was a bit random, unless I dreamed that

Wow, 43 years old. I remember buying that issue!

Magazine Craft is a great feature, really enjoying it

Amiga for me. I jumped from a 48K Speccy to one, you could imagine what an upgrade that was!

Yes that’s the one. Apparently it’s compatible with all the MiSTer FPGA cores as well. Looks really nice but not sure what to do. Enjoying my The Spectrum at the minute, which is amazing, so might just stick with that for now 😀

I flew my drone on Saturday as the weather was ok, read some backlog of Retro Gamer (nearly caught up!) and contemplated some more over the purchase of a Super Station One or wait for the Mister Pi to be available again. Any personal thoughts on that?

That is amazing! I also agree scary too, hope you update if it actually fixed the problem!

Wow! I’ve literally been on this platform for just over a day and already had to block 2 fake accounts. WTF!!!! I moved over to get away from all that shit

I can 100% confirm that I now own far more Spectrum games than I did back in the day (and still buying!) I’ve even managed to buy some brand new old stock which is crazy!

Now that is different 😂

This is the only time I thought I could actually sing! Sold my PS2 years ago (since replaced) but kept all my Singstar games 😀

Here’s a random photo of me on Christmas Day thinking I’m back in 1985 😀

Today was the day I decided to setup my Bluesky account and re-engage with some great people I followed who have mostly left the other platform. Hopefully I can get back some of my tiny amount of followers to make me feel special again!
