A tour of my retro gaming and computer collection
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 far. Warhawk is bloody difficult so I need to get used to that but Baggers is space has kept me hooked 🙂
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 for loading games from an SD Card and the Epyx Fastloader to speed up the process :).
Write up coming in the not too distant future!
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 a signed Oliver Twins collection for the Evercade. That was simply too good to turn down 🙂
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 🙂
On a roll tonight, but think it’s time for bed now!
Think I will do the 128K +2 article next to complete the computer section of the site for now 🙂
Been a bit of delay since the last article I wrote due to house DIY. But here we go, my memories of the Sony Playstaion:
My small wirteup of the Dremcast is now completed and can be found here:
