29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

Early Access: Patrons are enjoying a double feature lecture by Professor Steve Furber CBE on his career, taking us from Acorn to recreating part of the human brain with one million CPU's. Support our museum and enjoy early, ad-free videos at patreon.com/theretrocollective

It’s finally happening…

I have a performance review with the boss this morning. Wish me luck…

A trio of arcade monitors pulled out of old cabs to be inspected, serviced and saved. Some crustier than others.

CPC (car park cat) is now officially a member of the team

We have not forgotten about the #ARCADE New #MiSTerFPGA product incoming #MMS2JAMMA All-in-one FPGA JAMMA based Arcade system.

My new workbench is an old school science lab desk. I think I can make out a love heart here and apparently “ANA is fit”

Today I went to Peppa Pig World. I bought a sausage roll from Daddy Pig’s Cafe and don’t regret a thing.

A few of the Retro Asylum team are at @visitthecave.bsky.social today!#retrogaming

Stroud Man and Trevor have combined forces to become the ultimate weapon. Awooga!

This 1989 Sony TV was a £41 pickup on eBay. Ultimately I’d like to put it on a Sam Coupé but for now it’s serving the C64. Bargains are still out there.

Lovely to pop into the Robin Hood Amiga group in #Nottingham - A very friendly bunch that any Amigan in the area should get involved with!

New Video: youtu.be/SqiM457GHr8 It's the next installment of the Pump House Trash to Treasure! Converting the 1930's building here at the mill into our dream workshop studio. #diy #retro #restoration

Reuniting orphaned boxes and media brings me more joy than it probably should. This was a tricky CD to source but it’s now safely in the box. 📦

🎉🎺Multisystem2 announcement 🎺🎉 We've completed Level 1! Orders for Level 2 are already being processed for shipping. Those with orders 6501-7000 may now start getting excited!

September is the big push to complete the Pump House project. Will we finish it on time? Hollys face says it all...

Had a great day at the @visitthecave.bsky.social met some lovely folk, even @morefunmakingit.bsky.social Didn’t take many photos, but here is one of me playing 1942 on an Amiga

Full steam ahead with the next Pump House build update…I don’t like heights, Holly has a death wish. 😱

Legs optional.

Thank you for your amazing support and enthusiasm for the Multisystem2. We know lots of you are keen to know when to expect your order. We’ve created some levels (because you know, it’s a games console!) to help give you an idea of where your order is in the shipping process.

A beautiful addition to the flight sim collection at the museum, @microsoft.com Flight Sim 2 from 1984

New arrival. A nice example of an aftermarket C64 case for bread bin owners to get the look of a C64C. Made in Australia but sold around the world, and a bonus Slik Stik to go with it.

70 HOURS TO GO!!! You don't want to miss out on possibly your last chance to get one of these bad-boys! #ZXSpectrumNext #sinclair #retrogames #retrogaming #gamedev #indidev #retrodev
