Maurice Molyneaux (8bit Maurice)

Wearing a T-shirt bearing an Atari logo, Maurice points to details on the 14th-century portion of a building that look like the logo.

Have you played #Atari today? How about back in the 14th century?

That was in York, UK, about a month ago, outside Gert & Henry's at 2 Jubbergate (aka 4 Jubbergate).

SECOND POST TEST

So many places still to visit!

On Sandwich Street, London.

Rando pix from Europe.

I made this silly little clip to accompany this delightfully spooky ditty from 1921. Make sure the sound is on!

And the ghost draw order is wrong. Blinky shouldn't disappear under the others.

This Google Doodle is cute, but it breaks a couple of the Pac-Man rules drilled into me in my Namco days, notably: Pac-Man's mouth shouldn't animate when he's stopped against a wall, and zip-zig passages are generally a no-no.

Map of travels

Revised working Map of my recently-completed trip to Europe. Purple means there and back, blue is one way, and yellow is "you can't take a train or motorcar there".

And I was just in Ireland 10 days ago!

Seán Ferrick & Maurice in Dublin sounds like Clue/Cluedo.

My brief Ireland 🇮🇪 stop was worth it thanks to this fellow. @seanferrick.bsky.social

Edinburgh for two all-too-short days.

I am missing it this year because I've been overseas for the past five weeks. Sorry that I will miss you guys!

I will be in Ireland 🇮🇪 (flying there in a few hours), but I will be with you in spirit!

I always feel most at home on a film shoot.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

She looks like Hazel O'Conner in Breaking Glass.

I think the Grid Bugs were only there to tie into the arcade game.
