Spent the day at the @computinghistory.org.uk at the retro gaming event exhibiting my A500+ And had a great day. I will be there tomorrow, and it's not yet sold out, so if you are in the area come along! You didn't even have to see me!

Alien Breed and its Special Edition were uniquely Amiga and Team 17. but what makes these games so interesting enjoyable? lets find out! youtu.be/S_co6lU6lZU

Rate my gaming setup.

It managed to arrive on just the wrong day, but a week later it's finally in my hands. Settlers 2 for the Amiga. Even if the only machine it will run on is my A4000 and it can still struggle!

Van mostly packed and just having my last Sunday roast in the area. As tomorrow, I get up very early to start the drive up to our new home in Scotland.

The perfect night to try out my new spooky #Amiga #halloween game GhostLight robsmith-dev.itch.io/ghostlight

Been busy organizing a move and not been posting much. But here is a quick one with the current nails, I'm sure it's going to get chipped to hell and back next week. This one is burnished bronze.

New movie review is up! This time I watched Stealth, from 2005c about a rogue AI-powered fighter jet that (predictably) goes a bit wrong, except instead of hallucinating fake articles, it starts picking its own missile targets. Oops!

It's getting closer and closer. We've got gaming on everything from oscilloscopes to top end 90s Unix workstations, exotic consoles and Japanese train emulators. Oh and LOTs of Chuckie Egg! www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/74558/Re... (Sat) and www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/74909/re... (Sun).

Trying to work on a video and this lump jumps on my lap and starts purring away, wanting fuss. Wouldn't mind but it's not even my cat! #cat

Duke Nukem 3D, a game with a decent number of Add-On's Some licensed some not, and one that even got sued. And guess which we are looking at in this video. youtu.be/eSwvtGA7nbM

The Amiga had amazing original games, some got interesting ports to the PC Platform. And I decided it could be fun to check them out to see how good they were. youtu.be/DBN1xwbBelY

Forgot to post this last week, Latest nails are the horribly named "Royal Confidante"

Public Domain Magazine, the bible of free software for Amiga, ST and PC has never been scanned. Until now! We look at its complex coverdisk, how you got free software when the internet was only 3 months old and what connects this show and the magazine within a magazine. youtu.be/85sDuKq37JA

Been continuing with my crazy GBA Esp32 experiment. And made huge progress this weekend. 🧵

My current video using an esp32 might have bombed hard, but that doesn't mean I won't continue trying to do crazy things with them.

Recently I made my own controller, using the GBA as the base. and this is how I did it! youtu.be/7zsAm-uovJc

Of all the ways to advertise Quake, I'm not sure this would have jumped into head as an option. PC Format November 1996

My weird eye thing I mentioned the other day. Turns out a blood vessel in my eye popped and what I am seeing is blood! No idea how it happened, even the optometrist was baffled. It should fade with time, but guess who now has to see a specialist in a few months time.

Not sure if this is a sign of getting old or what, but I've suddenly gotten this weird spider in a web style floater in my right eye. It moves around with my vision as well, and has been persistent since yesterday evening. Got an appointment with the optometrist tomorrow.

At the end of 2004 the Playstation 2 was king. A warning to Sony though as 3 seemingly unassailable game series have challenges coming, but do any of them score a direct hit? youtu.be/zp7qJkn4G2w

It's a joke I've made every other time, so why stop now. "New glasses, who's this?"

Got a head full of hay fever and ache. So here are some Amiga games! (No idea of the link, but this is where my head is at).

Who's stupid idea was it to go out for a 6 mile walk today. Oh yeah, mine. Well listened to a chunk of an audio book and got a few views in.

Redid the nails as was filming content this week. And gone with "under the tree" A very dark green that almost looks blue most of the time. #nails

Here at team @pixelpushergames.co.uk : @108stars-pixelart.bsky.social and @superjetspade.bsky.social are still working hard on Chords. I unfortunately couldn't resist sharing my favourite new location here on bsky. I present to you The Park! #segegenesis #segamegadrive #gamedev #indiedev

I build a real working Alien Motion Tracker youtu.be/KpUjXUSlkbU

I don't buy many CDs these days but had to get the "Catalyst Symphony" "The Light Inside" EP that has the great @tamaracade.bsky.social on it.

Slightly diminish a band: TrepidationVision

Heh, Heh. Double nice! Heh, Heh.

The Amiga A1200 and the AGA machines got their fair share of ports, so lets take a look at some of the games that were so much better on the hardware. that there wasn't much reason to return to the originals. youtu.be/ReVIoomOZHU

It's a combi day, as not only is it time for new nail polish, but also out at the weald and downland museum. The event is the Roots and Rhythm. And the polish is 'Fab'

Ocean made many licensed games, but this might have been the only one based on a book! Let's check out Ivanhoe! youtu.be/nOAKwJqnAXg

Things I get from a car boot sale, war of the worlds (pictured). Things I don't get, a fleshlight (not pictured)!

Big urn or small geek, you decide.

There are times I forget how good we have it these days, with back lit screens and built in rechargeable batteries.

Had to bodge and hack the board a little bit but! It works! I've some how made a bluetooth Xbox controller inside a GBA shell!

No cheating. Post your lock screen. Mine is a little boring, but bonus points for those who know the game.

I need to be smart this week so i decided to go with Neblue-la

After 6 months of updates, the new Retro.Directory 2.0 is now live packed with loads of exciting updates, features and improvements... youtu.be/85RFeX76Hv8

After 5 minutes of playing, this was all I could think of.

That's my weekend sorted. If any videos are late next month, you will know why.😁

Galaxy of Games are bringing us their second best as its their Silver edition. but, are they still selling shareware they renamed as special editions. does the number of games on the box match what is on the disk? Lets find out! youtu.be/NX3wz_DvFBw

Went for a big walk today. 7.2miles in just over 2 hours. Got a lot more of the "Long Mars" listened to.

Even the cats are, fuck this heat!

You've been kidnapped, the characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I don't think I'm going to make it, but I'd die confused and laughing .

Another experiment and another that I'm not completely sold on. The glitter style coating looks a little 'dirty' to me. If it was all that green colour I think it would be great. But as the coverage was quite low even after a few layers it needed the other green as a base.
