Well the google Halloween ๐ŸŽƒ Pac-Man is a little easy but pretty fun distraction.

A very British centric video aimed at a certain demographic. Btw I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the cassette based games mainly sold by a newsagent in the 1980โ€™s being shown.

Itโ€™s like putting up a potato as Shadow Agriculture secretary as it was once in a field. Tbf the potato might have more smarts than Philip.

Your average watch time is pretty epic, helped by me watching your 8 year old vids and commenting on them, my working out shows his as 8 seconds views which Iโ€™m guessing is enough to register a view, but he didnโ€™t pay enough for the bot to watch any more.

Wow, loads of work to get it working but great to see the results. Always enjoy seeing these repair posts.

Our secondary school IT teacher hated games so we needed to have someone on watch. Funny enough by the sixth form he was fine with us playing Zarch, Lemmings and Chocks Away on the Archimedes.

Super late to Vampire Survivors, but what a great little one more go game. Bought it cheap on the Switch Lite when away in Crete and still playing it now Iโ€™m back home.

The screenshots look excellent, Iโ€™m going to need to give it a download and try.

Reminds me of my early teenage years, sat in the secondary school IT suite, with 5.25โ€ disks floating around in my bag, and Chuckie Egg of course.

I had it on a Pal PlayStation, used it for Command and Conquer, Sim City 2000, and tried it on the shooting bits of Die Hard Trilogy. Probably not my most utilised peripheral ever.

Bloody Global synchronising adverts across all stations too. Thatโ€™s some drop just to get national dominance.

Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst in a good romantic comedy, I might be able to bring my better half to the cinema for once. (She doesnโ€™t like scary or weird so there goes 90% of my films).

I've been in that shop many times and they couldn't be nicer, more chilled staff.

Hobbyists would buy something from the excellent shop, and be thankful itโ€™s there trading in 2025, and enjoy a banana muffin afterwards.

We had a friend turn up and say hello. Twice in three years weโ€™ve had a Preying Mantis up close and personal in Crete.

To extract more money of of your wallet, these smart beds are often have a SAAS contract on them too. And rather than run some code locally, they need it connected to the cloud to charge you monthly. I could imagine some one woke up too hot yesterday, folded upwards.

I thought Iโ€™d put a link up to this shop as they are known for being a good place to get retro stuff from.
Shame that some entitled โ€œinfluencerโ€ tried to do a hatchet job on them when we should be supporting shops like this on the high street www.facebook.com/share/17b7cD...

I first played Football Manager on the Spectrum on a copied tape back in 1985. Watching those basic footballers in action got me into Football sims. League Challenge from Atlantis is also an early Football Sim I played loads of.

Itโ€™s time for some RG on the sun bed. I forget how much I liked Elite Systems 8bit content. Batty was one our most played games thanks to my mum. It also reminded me I need to get Kevin Tomโ€™s Football Manager for some nostalgia.

Youtubers and streamers who think they have a god given right to record and make content can get in the bin. Some donโ€™t care if they get positive or negative content as long as thereโ€™s โ€œengagementโ€. Whatโ€™s in it for the shop or event if itโ€™s a hit piece?

Looks a pretty decent rendition of Time Pilot, just running slightly slower.

That sounds like me. The basics I can do, even a bit of soldering too but more complex diagnosis and Iโ€™m going to break something.

People who make margins on misery complaining about increased taxes on margins of misery. Letโ€™s have a complete ban on advertising gambling too.
