For anyone hankering for a great gaming telly series there’s old episodes of Good Game on YouTube and Good Game Spawn Point (which is still ongoing) too. 📺
I love me some GamesMaster, watched it religiously at the time, but Aussie telly’s Good Game (2006-2016) and Good Game: Spawn Point (2010-Present) are also excellent and all available to watch on YouTube.
I’m downloading the Under Consoletation podcast right now, sounds great.
1983 was all about the ZX Spectrum, Commodore, Atari, Game & Watch and arcades for me. Interesting to learn what else was available at the time (that I’d never heard of). @DrJiggle Thanks for the recommendation. I’m always on the lookout for new podcasts.
I’ve amassed a nice wee collection since I got my first game, Mario’s Cement Factory. I couldn’t part with em but what will happen to them when you know...💀 Guess I’ll be past caring by then 😋
One week till the NES Mini is out 🎉✨
Played this to death at the time - N64 games were crazy expensive. The sound/effects for this game are excellent. Still never made it past a particularly horrendous platforming bit near the end 😓

Re: Hardware Review: Capcom Home Arcade Is The Most Ludicrous Micro-Console Yet, And We're In Love
At an eye watering $400 that’ll be a pass. Although I think it looks gorgeous.
