I would run down to the newsagent multiple times to see if the new issue was in yet, the excitement of being told it was in was unparalleled. Still have some of my original copies, many of which are held together with sticky tape @digitalfoundry.bsky.social

Guys, stop, my shelf can only take so much. Maybe ONE more…

Hades 2 - Chronos defeated! Those Umbral Flames are way OP, haha. It took me months to beat Hades in the first, this one took me about 7 hours.

I have made some essential purchases. #hailtothekingbaby

Podd for the BBC Micro. One of my earliest video-game memories. This and Grannies Garden were some of the most unbelievably exciting moments I had at school, maybe 38 years ago. If I had a holy grail it would be to play these games on original hardware.

Yep. Truly good games do not need seasons and constant rollouts of new content.

Seems @zaumstudio.bsky.social doesn’t want me selling my Disco Elysium painting and prints on Etsy 😟 They got a lot of work to do then as Etsy has a mountain of Disco items on there! They’re such a popular bunch though and this sort of thing will make people love them even more! #discoelysium

In collaboration with id Software, we're excited to announce the definitive re-release of Heretic + Hexen — available NOW on all platforms! 💥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqH3...

A small tip off, the new 8Bitdo N64 controllers work great with a BlueRetro adapter. Absoutely the best cost effective way to play on an original N64 today. I will definitely be going back for another one!

@corekeepergame.com Hi! Will there be a Switch 2 update for 60fps and a res boost maybe?

Harry and Kim! #Discoelysium

WWF WRESTLEMANIA RARE 1989 NES

Apparently the Amiga is now 40 years old! What an incredible computer and one that’s inspired several of my paintings in the past #amiga #pixelart

We're about halfway through our 666-minute *FREE* giveaway of Brütal Legend on itch.io, as we honor the life of Ozzy, our Guardian of Metal: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend Don't fret. You've got about 333 minutes left to grab it. 🤘 🖤 🎸

Steins;Gate was a bit of a ride 😢 #tuturu

Over 2 years in the making, and just a technical marvel from the legendary @randallinden.bsky.social makes this one of the coolest things I ever been involved with. limitedrungames.com/products/doo...

Hello, #portfolioday ! Pixel art paintings and prints of video games here, about to dabble in digital too. linktr.ee/pixelpaint64

Thanks to some physical issues with my hand I’m not sure how much painting I’ll be doing going ahead, certainly not complex anyway. Digital artwork seems a little easier on the joints though, so would welcome any feedback on this effort of Harry from Disco Elysium! #pixelart #discoelysium

Prepping for my b'day party this weekend, finally hung up my one and ONLY painting I own Yeah, I'm an art snob 😏 Art by: @pixelpaint64.bsky.social

@dark1x.bsky.social Damn, you weren’t wrong, finally sunk some time into Ridge Racer Type 4 this week. Amazing game and what a soundtrack! Immediately watched your old DF video on it and found I have no 60fps RR disc!! Immediately bought on eBay.

Another great female character is Thomasina Bateman from The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, an awesome folk-horror adventure game. Love the fact this looks like my Yorkshire home #hobsbarrow #pixelart #pointnclick @samanthabeart.bsky.social

@lgr-yt.bsky.social You’ve had absolutely no influence on my eBay purchases

Got another going off today, a big fat Cacodemon print! Maybe someone has been watching @digitalfoundry.bsky.social … Dark Ages not far off now either! 👿 #doom #cacodemon #pixelart #fps

Hopefully a #vampiresurvivors fan is going to be happy with this 8x10” print of my recent painting! #pixelart #gaming #gamingart

Just realised 90% of my Etsy listings expired about a month ago so the store has been a bit empty! All back up now!

A double-header of paintings came up next, two female characters done back-to-back. First was a long overdue visit to Super Metroid, say hello to Samus! #metroid #nintendo #samus #pixelart #retrogames

A slightly different style of presentation for a game that means the world to me, Stardew Valley. These were some of my earliest paintings, repackaged as one piece 🐓🦆🐇 #stardewvalley #concernedape #pixelart #painting #chicken #duck #rabbit

More of my Lake District paper got used on this one, as well as some metallic paint I’d had for years and never tried. I mean, Zelda things should be shiny and gold, right? #zelda #triforce #legendofzelda #pixelart #nintendo #painting

On a trip to the Lake District I picked up some cool recycled paper from an art gallery that had a great texture to it. First up on this medium was Secret of Mana a classic that’s honestly a bit rough if you play it today, despite the graphics and sound being S tier! #secretofmana #snes #squaresoft

My FFVII painting is the only painting I have on display in my house. It’s the biggest painting I’ve ever done and one of my favourites, was much harder than I expected though due to some really varied colour choices in the shading. I’ll probably never sell it as it’s so big, bloody postage!

Reminder that za/um is made up of businesspeople that stole disco elysium from the creators, kicked them out of the company, are currently suing them, and are making a mobile game of disco elysium Do not pay money for DE, and do not give za/um a cent otherwise www.newsweek.com/entertainmen...

After I moved house it took me a long time to pick up a brush again, don’t quite have a good setup to paint in now. But I went back to a canvas with this little one of our protagonist from Flashback. He has his red SNES shirt on. #flashback #retrogames #pixelart #painting #art

The last painting I did before I moved house, Rocket Knight Adventures for Megadrive. The game was a Christmas gift a few years ago, bloody hard! Loved the sprites though and had do a painting of us in full flight #rocketknightadventures #megadrive #sega #pixelart #retrogaming #sparkster

Sending off Alucard to a new home, the original painting has been sold! Many more original paintings and prints are available on my Etsy store www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Pixe... ☺️ #alucard #castlevania #symphonyofthenight #painting #art #pixelart #konami

Golden Axe was next, played the hell out of this as a kid. This painting actually took a lot longer than I expected! The detail on the skin really added the time. #goldenaxe #sega #segagenesis #pixelart #painting #art #retrogames

First saw this game on a Mean Machines VHS and was captivated. I never actually got the game though and didn’t play until my adult years. Probably best I didn’t have it as a kid tho, it’s so frustrating! Still beautiful though and turned into a lovely painting. #eccothedolphin #sega #megadrive

Rockstar Ate My Hamster is a legendary old game, I used to play the Amiga version loads and loved how different it was, games based on the real world were few. I love its caricatures and would happily do more at some point. #rockstaratemyhamster #wackojacko #michaeljackson #pixelart

Another repaint after that, Castlevania and Zelda were originally toyed with as ideas, but in the end I went with the Mouse. Castle of Illusion was one of the first Megadrive games I got, this repaint was a real subtle one but I thought it worked well. #mickeymouse #sega #megadrive #genesis

I had a commission next, and to this day I’m genuinely not sure what it is or what it does. What I do know is that it is called Huggy Wuggy and it made some kid happy at Christmas! #huggywuggy

Small canvases I could frame were what I was into at the time, the next painting was an odd inspiration though. I absolutely love the books from @bitmapbooks.com and used the pixel art SNES from one of their book covers to create this one #nintendo #snes #supernintendo #pixelart #bitmapbooks

After those Lemmings, I kept it small and cute, but on canvas boards I could frame. Sensible Soccer was something I’d wanted to try so we have two midfield maestro’s from Man City and Sheffield Wednesday - Kevin De Bruyne and Barry Bannan! #sensiblesoccer #mcfc #swfc #pixelart #football

Attended the Leeds Videogame Market today and picked up a modest haul of stuff ☺️ #leedsvideogamemarket

Another commission came in for two more Lemmings! Digger and umbrella lemming were the choices, I’d love to do the rest at some point. Doing these paintings you get such an appreciation for pixel art and the amount done here with so few pixels is amazing. #lemmings #pixelart #amiga #painting

Following up on yesterday’s @digitalfoundry.bsky.social piece with some in-progress images #pixelart #painting

Next painting was probably technically my best I think. Inspired by the work of @rachelsham.bsky.social I produced a Final Fight edition of her DF Fighters sprites in tribute to @digitalfoundry.bsky.social and DF Retro which reinvigorated my interest in #retrogames #digitalfoundry #retrogaming

After some quite difficult paintings I needed a break. What could be simpler than a Lemmings sprite? A tiny collection of pixels absolutely oozing character and personality 😄 #lemmings #dmadesign #amiga #pixelart #retrogames

I think my favourite part of that Punch Out painting was someone on Reddit calling me out and claiming it wasn’t a painting, that it had been printed! A superb compliment. Even claimed my production images were no proof… love the Internet 😁
