New by me for Stuff: Best budget retro gaming handhelds in 2026 to emulate classic consoles and video games www.stuff.tv/features/bes... I’ve been testing these for some time. It’s a fast-moving market and so I wanted sub-$200 budget units that’ll last. But I do also outline alternatives.

Hi, I reviewed the Commodore 64 Ultimate. It was … emotional www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

Boulder Dash (1984) Playing on the C64 is pure gaming tension. See this + other classics in The Commodore 64: The Birth of a Cultural Icon, A new gaming documentary exploring the success of the iconic Commodore 64 computer: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra... #retrogaming #c64 #commodore64 #80s

This won’t be quite like any expo you’ve attended before. We’re tripling-down on being THE indie friendly event. Here’s how…

Happy #TillysGameVersary 🎂, the Commodore 64 (1982)! With its childishly chunky keys, it was created as a Duplo-style learner machine for those wanting to graduate up to a Spectrum. Even so, it was a surprisingly popular computer at the time due to its daring colour graphics; 16 shades of beige.

I think there’s more interest, thanks to re-releases and remasters hitting modern consoles, along with Nintendo Switch Online’s selections of emulated titles. That said, there could be a bigger boom if modern console prices soar and players want a cheaper way to get their gaming fix.

Is retrogaming becoming more or less popular these days?

First time seeing the Mac version of Halo in the wild. Somewhere out there, there's a parallel timeline where it was a third person shooter released as a Mac exclusive, and another where it came out on PS2 alongside Xbox.

Good stuff from @revolutionsoftware.bsky.social 👏🏻 #brokensword

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our colleague Nick Thorpe passed away on Monday. He was an incredibly lovely person, a talented writer and an essential part of the magazine. Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family at this difficult time. Rest in peace, friend.

Spent the last hour rewatching our old mag videos that we used to do about 9 years ago on Youtube. Laughing and crying a lot. Miss you, Nick.

Playing Nick's favourite game. I'm sure he'll forgive me for not getting my Mega Drive copy out.

so very shocked and sad to hear this such a lovely person and also very friendly - everyone I know who interacted with Nick felt the same. Will be missed x
