The SMS 2, a machine that doesn't quite get the love it should do. Mostly due to being cost reduced to with in an inch of its life, but can we change that. and possibly make it the best version of histories greatest console? youtu.be/ySvHThvNzIs

Spent the week in Leeds for work, but because we are game devs, we had to hit the arcade club. Which was very good.

On stream with Ashens, I introduced him to weekly games magazine Games-X. Will we get through it or will we spend about 30 minutes talking about the bloke on the cover. What do you think? youtu.be/7E2lfGPPRiU

Off on a business trip to the far away lands of Leeds this week. So had to make sure the nails looked good 😁 Managed to get a nice effect by layering 2 polishes.

ImageWorks, the publisher with a face. who put out quite the range of games for barely being around for a few years. So let's check them out. youtu.be/B1p8HrYDL6Y

1989, the ST still leads but the Batman pack will change everything... or will it? Does the pack still stand up today? What impact did it actually have and what lie has been told about it for years? youtu.be/5QY3Ud7zNQM

Yes I am a child.

Have a rare selfie as the beard was freed recently!

The Galaxy Of Games is going Green. Is it sick or toxic? Does it have the claimed 50 games? Let's boot up the windows 98 and find out! youtu.be/nTKiYF5VR1A

In a complete brain fart, I forgot to set up this week's video to go live today. Will do the additional legwork tonight and will post tomorrow.

I have a crazy idea in mind so back on my ESP32 thing.

Huh! Today I learned that iPlayer has all of OnePiece Dubbed. Been reading the Manga but massively behind on the Anime, a rewatch might be needed.

Gremlin made and published many !many! games on the Amiga, and I think its time we check them ALL out! so strap in as we dive into every Gremlin graphics games released for the Amiga! youtu.be/7nDXFs8pFN4

A reminder that while you are more likely to hear about a 'AAA' game (a term that means fuck all these days) has used used AI it's actually far more common for an 'Indie' game (another term that means fuck all) to actually use AI. Leave the dump labels behind and judge each game on its own merits.

Rather than take the bank holiday off I took a long weekend last week. Which gave me a chance to update the nails! A nice sparkly dark blue. First Esse branded polish.

We are sticking with 1991 for March and a number of the magazines are giving away full games. But the question has to be, did the publishers send their best? Let's find out! youtu.be/cbk4amkntRs

Anyone want a Yesterzine official Discord? What if it was also the @whathosnorkers.bsky.social Official Discord? And the @gouldfishongames.com Official Discord? And the @yawning-angel.bsky.social Official Discord? And the @timberwolf.club and @bloggospow.bsky.social Discord? discord.gg/5GcKUXFhCn

Introducing the "Retro Software Discord"! A loose collection of retro YouTubers who mostly focus on games and software. Where you can not only chat with me, but also some good YouTubers! Or talk about old games or even software development with like minded people. discord.gg/5GcKUXFhCn

I'm not even sure why a parking ticket machine needs a partition tool, but they need to update it!

Malice was an ambitious total conversion for quake that pushed the engine hard, but was it any good? Let's find out. youtu.be/UfCirA6Vwig

Start of a new week so something to brighten the day, some very yellow nails. The color is "Lemonade". Not quite as sparkly as I was led to believe. #nails

This might be the cheapest rug/mat I've ever gotten (AliExpress so you can guess the quality). But it ties the room together (man). And stops the cables being a trip hazard 😁

Just released the worst performing video I have released in the last... I dunno, 50 videos lol Oh well, hopefully my horrendously performing video helps these 10 fantastic smaller YouTubers :) youtu.be/2TBkCs4Zkk4?...

People will tell you now the Amiga won the 16-bit generation. But the Amiga launch was a disaster and the one you were supposed to buy didn't arrive for 2 years. Here's what really happened. youtu.be/Nv-T7wBHzc0

Got some new colours in, as there is no such a thing as too much nail polish... And going with baked bronze. Which I think I quite like.

Went to do an exercise session and my legs screamed no! So did a bit of arm work then gave up. Been really hard to get back into exercising this year.

Been watching 'Darling in the Fraxx', And I swear the creators just wondered "Could we make an even hornier Eva" And here was me thinking it was just going to be a mecha show.

In a not too distant past the Amiga had its fair share of games based on movie licenses, so I decided to give myself a bunch of rules so I would check out some of the less talked about ones. But were they any good? youtu.be/HzQxXEPvkNc

Ruff N Tumble?! In this economy?

Does this mean I've hit the jackpot?

It's not looking good for the Saturn, its most famous magazine is dying. There is hope though, EA have a new Strike game and finally the machine is getting the FPS legend, Doom. It's too late for Mean Machines Sega, but is it too late for the Sega Saturn? youtu.be/pxyVOj5wnzQ

Whoops missed posting the last polish, here are the new nails. Slightly more subtle than normal, this is mermaid fin.

The move is complete but times are a changing. A channel update and tour of the new home is live! youtu.be/xDK3nqCDaj0

Giving my video about the X Files game another cheeky little share. :) youtu.be/puHwgnMzGVI

Walking through the freezing fog this morning, when Old Gods of Asgard comes on the playlist. It started feeling like a part of Alan Wake!

Had a commentator on my recent video telling me they subbed then unsubbed once they spotted my painted nails. Do they think that's going to make me stop? Imagine being that bothered about some colour. Anyway it's about time to repaint them, what should I go for next?

Amos was popular with the budding game devs and some of them went on to release games in the shops. and in this video I'm checking a number of them out, also featuring a few of my Amos loving mates! youtu.be/kQ9TnzHtYYE

Just got a whole bunch of new tshirts printed up and not sure if I wasn't paying attention but it wasn't the direct printing I was expecting, these are more like transfers. But they do look quite good!

It finally arrived! Broken Sword reforged physical edition!

Building an #Amiga On-Rails #LightGun Shooter in AMOS!? youtu.be/mddraVZ_pZ0

I finally did a nail combo that I actually like! A (very) dark metallic blue base with a sparkly holographic purple on top!

I done a New Year Good Luck Lemon Piglet! Y'know, to get in the mood x

It might be my birthday today but here is a present for all of you! A Special Cover Disk Face Off! We are checking out all 9 Christmas editions of the main Amiga Magazines. That meant 6 Amiga formats, 2 Amiga Actions and a Maverick One for Amiga! youtu.be/QWuIjeU9qlU

youtu.be/RxHHY3WgvM8 I decided to do a Christmas Special this year, as is traditional. It's got something for everyone. Programming! Muttering! Fancy dress! Special effects! And my homage to The Night The Reindeer Died.

Is it me, or does this read like a threat?!

A surprisingly productive weekend. Editing a 50 minute video (due out next week), did some work on the website, Had another trip to IKEA, Finished 2 games (both VR titles). And cooked some random crispy chicken and potatoes combo.

Out Now, for the #Amiga, #Santa's Present Drop 5 - The House of the Dead Bunnies! Played with a #MOUSE or #LIGHTGUN making this "Probably the only Amiga LightGun game worth playing!" robsmith-dev.itch.io/dead-bunnies
