The Bandai/VTech Super Note Club

We cover a lot of retro things including Consoles, Computers and Toys. So let's look at the Super Note Club from Bandai/VTech that merges all three.

Please listen to Absent Friends on BBC Radio 4 Extra today. Part One is 4.45pm (repeated at 0045) and Part Two is the same time tomorrow. It’s my acknowledgment of various folk from UK sci-fi, horror and fantasy who died this year. 4 Extra doesn’t do many home made productions, so do tune in!

Do you want 10 hours of NES music? How about Mega Drive or tracker music?

There are 7 hours of SMS too.

The PC was an odd duck in 1994. April 1994's PC Gamer includes a game that would grace the Playstation unchanged and another that was a downgrade on a NES original.

In the backdrop of this late DOS era chaos, PC Gamer have the top 50 of all time. Are they right?

There's still one more video to come for 2025 on the Rubbish Heap channel. I wanted to extend my thanks for all those who have tuned in during 2025. For a small channel focused on playing Japanese video games it's grown! On Jan 1st 2025, 144 subs. Now it's 369! So thank you! 良いお年を!#retrogaming

So, anyone get any good/interesting videogames or boardgames yesterday?

Too damn right.

If you *do* go and "hit the sales" today, be nice to the staff. It isn't their fault if they sell out of something, or the shop is crowded. Believe me, they would much rather be at home than in work today.
Absolutely no reason shops should be open today. The poor sods who work in retail have to work stupidly hard all of December get one day off then back to work. Let them have another day off

Not a festive video, but some free AMOS code utils if you’re interested. 😅

Convert Hardware and Screen coordinates with these two utility programs.

Full details on how to get them in the video, along with showing what they actually do. 😎

Watching Jaws. When I was younger I always wondered how the Mayor got reflected in Jaws 2 after what happened in Jaws and everyone knew it was his fault.

Seeing the politicians in charge today, I now understand.

I wasn't that lucky when I got my Mega Drive. I did get World Of Illusion (god tier Disney platformer) and Another World though. So it wasn't a bad start to my Mega Drive collection.
35 years ago today, I got my Mega Drive and these games. Things wouldn't be the same again...

I decided to do a Christmas Special this year, as is traditional. It's got something for everyone. Programming! Muttering! Fancy dress! Special effects! And my homage to The Night The Reindeer Died.
