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.

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!
