I genuinely hate having to plug my work on here. I would rather post my cartoons and drawings without a link to my website, but unfortunately social media is an important element of our business, so I have to do it. I do appreciate the reposts and thank you for the support since I came to Bluesky.

Considering Amazon own Twitch, you'd think they'd know how gamers talk, but nope.

AI features very prominently in this game.

I wanted to see if it was possible to load the same cassette into a real BBC Micro and the Acorn Electron core on a miSTer at the same time.

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

There are some valid uses for AI. This sure as hell isn't one of them.

Had quite a few Commodore 64 disk games arrive today. Might not be till Christmas that I actually a chance to test them, but it'll be a fun task.

Speech on the title screen announcing the game title. "Sega Rally Championship" "Resident Evil" etc

Me (on the right) in a previous era, pretending to me totally ok with this situation. Circa 1982.

In this Connect 4 clone, these aliens are apparently diving into a teleporter, but it does look more like they're being sent plunging to their death.

Ok, maybe a bit too niche.

Venturing into the world of Acorn Electron cassettes...

Two of this week's arrivals show the range of effort that went into naming old computer games from the half-arsed 'Footer' to the gonna-need-a-bigger-box of 'The Unorthodox Engineers: The Pen And The Dark'

Wonder if this still keeps him awake at night

The dilemma now is whether to fix the F and E or just break the I

I guess when you're super rich, you can afford the top-tier drugs.

Just my luck.. Can't even get an AI girlfriend.

I remember enjoying Olli & Lissa back in the day and was surprised when Olli & Lissa 3 came out, when I'd never seen a second game. Now I've ended up with all three and it's hard to even tell that Halloween is an Olli & Lissa game. Oddly, there don't seem to be many copies of Halloween around.

From inside the ZX Spectrum version of Gunsmoke. Can't fault that honesty - "We couldn't figure out how to do that, so we didn't"

Took in parcels for two neighbours earlier. If they come round for them, I should shake my head in disapproval of the lack of effort in their outfits, but still give them a chocolate bar anyway.

Frustrating that this stuff is always opt-out rather than opt-in. Turned mine off now though.

Browsing Instagram, I got shown an ad for some sketchy multi-console emulator and this video was on their website. Needs sound so that you can see just how bad it is www.youtube.com/watch?v=bILQ...

I was testing some MSX tapes last night and my 50-year-old eyes didn't appreciate trying to work out which colours from the copy protection I had to enter.

I'm going as a ringing phone.

Had some MSX bits arrive yesterday and rather enjoyed this review of 'The Boss' and its helpful screenshot. I googled to see if Peaksoft fared better after this game, but this looks to be their only release.

An animated loop basd on the games of the ZX Spectrum 8 bit micro from the 1980s This was made in photoshop and Blender and just a fun little tribute to my all time favourite home computer #zxspectrum #retrogaming #pixelart #8bitart

Just seen an ad for a computer keyboard that opens with "once you see it, you can't unsee it", which either demonstrates a completely misunderstanding of the phrase or it's haunted.

My 'tapes to test' pile suddenly got a lot bigger.

This isn’t available on our website yet, but you can request one via the email on our site and I will draw it for you. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SEGA Mark III console in Japan, Astro Climber is now available for free on Itch ⬇️ #homebrew #mastersystem

Testing more Amiga disks today and it's not difficult for a complete stranger to the Amiga to work out what decade Skidmarks was released in.

"Under strain"

I feel like this about old videogames. Seeing a well-thumbed manual with level passwords written in or a bit of paper with a doodled custom map warms my heart more than a mint sealed copy of the same game.

Marie sums this up better than I ever could. Tricking people into thinking they're meeting their ideal match is never going to last.. although maybe that's the point.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I didn't realise you could delete the Discovery feed because they don't call it deleting. You unpin it. But it's the same effect, it's gone and you don't accidentally click on it any more.

Sometimes I'm fortunate to find sought-after classic games to buy and other times I have to settle for Castlevania...

Testing more Spectrum cassettes. Hope Gary never saw this loading screen.

China Miner for the C64 arrived today. Never heard of it before, but this is the back of the case. The person that wrote the game description seems to care less after each paragraph and those keyboard controls .. "3 is up.. X is down.. screw 'em.. they should buy a joystick"

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theatre as a kid (unsurprising lack of Condorman GIFs out there)

Both added to Amazon Prime Video today, but I'd definitely watch "The Grudge: Benidorm"

Did toy designers learn nothing from Tom Hanks in 'Big'?

Sometimes Betteridge's Law just isn't enough for a 'No' this obvious.

had the urge to do this since the moment i saw this post! #pixelart

Wes' general presence is way more unpleasant.

I'm not saying that the Tengen/Domark releases for the SAM Coupé were an afterthought, but there's no mention of the SAM Coupé anywhere (unless maybe there used to be an extra bit of paper included) - the instructions are for every format, but they still don't mention the SAM Coupé.

Feet up testing more Spectrum cassettes. Mixed success though. Sadly, Knight Lore wouldn't load... Less sadly, Street Fighter didn't load either
