Used to have one of these when I was at school and used it for typing up my notes in class. Well thats what I told the teacher. This little gem however has a great built in feature, hit Function and B and you are dropped into BBC BASIC 😀. Great to have one back […]

Another handheld added to the collection. Also got a Supercard from Wish to load the ROMs onto. Great little console to mess around on 🙂

So I have a few ESP8266 boards kicking around and wondered if there was any cool C64 projects available. Well yes there is! With a bit of soldering and a C64 userport, you can turn one into a WiFi capable Modem for the C64. I built this up a few nights ago and have since […]

One of my regrets was selling my boxed Atari Lynx II with 8 games many years ago to a local second hand shop. I think I got about half the amount I have just paid out for another one 🙃. But at least it is now back in my collection. I am currently on a […]

What C64 would be complete without a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive to go with this. Purchased this from a charity auction. I was intending on getting a 1541-II so it matched the colour scheme but this was a good price and since all proceeds went to charity it was easy to justify the purchase […]

Last of my updates for today. Over the weekend I got around to finishing my home made Pacman Light. The base is 3D printed and contains a strip of ws2812 individually addressable LEDS. The Pac and ghosts have been etched and cut out of acrylic using my desktop CNC machine. Then all connected up to […]

So after the sucessful kickstarter for the Spectrum Next I decided to support the community and purchase a couple of the commerical games being released for the platform. After a Long, long, long journey from Greece to the UK via land mail (Due to Covid). The games finally arrived today and have been great fun […]

So for quite some time I have had a C64 case which I put a raspberry pi inside to emulate the C64. That was a fun project but with my collection growing it seemed only right that I had a real C64 in there. So here it is. A C64C complete with the SDIEC adpater […]

Even though I have loads of handheld emulation devices, for some reason I couldn’t say no to this. I really like the idea of the game collections like we used to get back in the Spectrum days. I have also backed a kickstarter campaign for the Fusion Annual 2020 and one of the perks is […]

Finally I have got a excellent condition Amiga CD32 to add to my collection. Along with the Terrible Fire 330 accelerator card :). I will do a write up on this shortly once I have had chance to have a play!

I managed to locate my old Xperia play a couple of weeks ago but it needs a lot of attention. So picked up a reconditioned one from aliexpress for £52. It arrived yesterday and here it is 🙂 I will do a write up of it in the not too distant future 🙂
