Been looking into these devices for a while now. The Playstation TV is basically a stripped-down PS Vita console but without the screen or touch controls. The great thing about these little devices is that they are really easy to hack now. Within 30 minutes of receiving this device, I had it running a custom […]

One series of games I have fond memories of was the Discworld games. I originally played Discworld on the Playstation and really enjoyed it despite some of the puzzles in the game being very frustrating to work out. I have recently started playing through them again though, as I don’t think I ever actually completed […]

Something a bit different and I think fairly rare in the grand scheme of things. The Sony Playstation 2 TV was released in 2010, very late in the PS2’s life cycle and after the launch of the PS3. Apparently, Sony had a bunch of PAL PS2s they needed to shift so came up with the […]

I only heard about this shop a couple of weeks ago and have been dying to get down there and take a look. Well, yesterday was that day. I think the shop has been open for a few months now and they have a brilliant stock of retro consoles and computers including things such as […]

I had kind of forgotten I even pre-ordered this many months ago, but a few days ago an Amazon parcel arrived containing the new Game & Watch from Nintendo. This time it’s Zelda that gets the game and watch treatment. The small device contains: The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link and Links Awakening. […]

Was a bit bored this morning so put together this quick video tour of my collection 🙂

Another new one for the collection arrived today in the form of a top-loading Neo Geo CD. Unboxed, but it’s in great condition. The console has a Sega Saturn sort of aesthetic to it, but the controllers are really nice. I am loving the micro-switched joypads! I decided to go for the CD version as […]

Each week this podcast has the latest in Retro gaming news and then an interview with a guest […]

I have been looking at these machines for a while now and monitoring what prices they go for. Then just before the weekend, I saw this one come up on eBay for a reasonable price. I then noticed that it was actually located in Bristol which is only a day trip away from me. With […]

I’m not really a game collector as such, mainly due to lack of space. But I do like to have a selection of original games for each of the consoles. And if you are only to have a few then why not have some rare beauties 🙂 Now I would never go out and this […]

So today I braved the big wide world and left Devon for a trip up to Bristol to pick up a new console for my collection (details coming soon). But this port is about the location I had to collect it from. It was from a guy named Mark who has set up a retro […]

I have wanted one of these in my collection for ages but at around £200-250 for an unboxed one, I had decided to wait to see if a better offer came along. Typically two then came at once so I had to buy both of them! The first of which arrived today. This one was […]
