Been messing around with the MSX recently so thought it was a good time to do a small write up.

Despite sitting right in front of my main computer screen I just realised I didn’t add this to my archive. So here it is, the Raspberry Pi 400 Home Computer 🙂 Click here to read my thoughts:

I have been pretty lazy with the site for a couple of months so decided to spend some time doing a couple of updates today since it’s bloody cold outside.

So I was lucky enough to get one of these pre-ordered on Amazon a few minutes after the listing went live. The console itself is great and personally I really like the looks of it. To me Sony have always done something new with the design of their consoles hwere as over manufacturers just seem […]

When I first saw this advertised I knew I just needed to have it for some reason! So I pre-ordered it on the spot and then completely forgot about it. Come November and as a nice suprise it arrived in the post. Was like having an early birthday present for me as I really had […]

I haven’t messed around with MIDI since my late Sam Coupe years and early 286 PC years where I used to connect a Yamaha PSS-780 keyboard up to the computer and “attempt” to get it to play some music. Usually I just ended up shoving pre-made MIDI files through it back then! But recently I […]

After backing a Kickstarter for the Fusion Annual 2021. One of the perks was a signed copy of the Oliver Twins Collection for the Evercade.

This one connects up to any device using a standard RS232 Serial Port. Reading through the project it mentioned some of the computers it works with. The Atari […]

Something a bit different added to the collection. Been wanting one of these for a while. Now all I need to do is figure out how to hook it up to an ATM machine 😀 This computer was used by John Conner in Terminator 2: Judgement Day to hack the ATM and also the door […]

I was contacted the morning by BBC Radio Devon as they were doing a piece on Retro Gaming for the Playstations 25th Anniversary. So I was interviewed live on air this afternoon. It was probably one of the most nerve wrecking things I have ever done lol. I’m not very good in social situations so […]

I have recently purchased and fitted a component video mod for the C64 from videogameperfection.com I bought this as I got a second OSSC for the bedroom and then discovered that the C64 cannot do any sort of RGB output so it didn’t work. After fitting this the image quality is now amazing. Never seen […]

Came across this for sale on the Revival Retro Events facebook page and couldn’t resist. Lemmings CDrom for the PC signed by Mike Dailly one of the orignal programmers.
