Germany why you not….. UK got a whiff of this 10yrs ago and did this everywhere. Not just big cities. My local town high streets has one. Problem. Fixed.

In other news. I was a pilgrim in an unholy land for AQA Standisation Training at an event venue this afternoon.

Black Country Game Fair this morning. Not as busy.. stalls and footfall compared to November. J-NTSC PS1, Rockman Famicom cart and Dead Space 2. ⛓️‍💥

Inject this into my veins… Two favorite boys. This feels brutal and nightmarish like Suda’s roguelike Let it Die on PSN 💀

Started with the theme tune in my head coming back from climbing. Been while.

Still waiting on Steel Empire & Parasol Stars. 😡

Over half term I put some decent time into Disco Elysium. After bouncing off the ropey Blade Runner port on the Switch. Found Disco slow going on the first day (10hrs in) of the investigation with your character nursing a hangover. Started to pick up on day two.

Been play bits of Moss since start of January. Turned on PSVR1 did one puzzle in room and the game ended. Had reall ICO feel to its castle interiors. Think I preferred this to Astrobot Robot Rescue from before Xmas.

Front Mission tuns 30 today! Some of the dioramas created by Kow Yokoyama for the book 'Front Mission: in Huffman: vgdensetsu.net/kowyokoyama/

Went up to Walsall for Retro Realm yesterday. Permanent resident started by couple of guys who do Retro Revival. Loads of cabs for £8 in. Picked my jaw off the floor when noticed the Dariusburst wide cab. Never seen one in the wild before. Sega Ikaruga sit down cab too. 👌 Definitely going back.

Been meaning to let this have its way with me a for an age. Last night.

Half Term break… been a long one.

Another issue of @forgottenworlds.bsky.social. Covering my two favorite console mags in high school. SuperPlay and MeanMachines. Planted that seed / obsession with shock of the new that was 16-bit import.

Had little play around with the Retrotink 5x this weekend. I’ve had it for a few years never really tried to optimize the settings for each console. Just being using it out of the box. Also didn’t support Spectrum 128k RGB signals out of the box without software up date. Lovely scan lines.

Something I started couple of years ago (on Twitter) to pick up a lot of New Hollywood films I hadn’t seen that were mentioned in Biskind’s Easy Riders and Raging Bulls book. Started with Bonnie and Clyde in 2022.
