🎉 Happy 40th to the Amiga! The machine that started my developer journey, working on the Eye of the Beholder series on this legendary platform, to recently lending my talents to Rogue Declan and Roguecraft. Here’s to the games, the community, and all the creative developers. 🥂Cheers

Looks like my awesome wife had one more surprise for me for 2025. Just before midnight she handed me this Unico Neo Geo MVS Mini cabinet! Came with 2 of the gamepads as well. This is going to be an awesome desk toy!

Top Player's Golf to start off. So cool!

Starting off the new year playing a little International Soccer on the Commodore 64 Ultimate. I used to play this every day after school back in the day. I still enjoy it. Trying to find that perfect challenge, currently setting computer to 5 of 9 in difficulty.

One of the most gorgeous Commodore VIC 20 setups I have ever seen. This one belongs to a Member of Parliament representing their constituency in the UK House of Commons!!! I think I found a kindred spirit here as this is the first computer I ever had, but not like this one! WHOA!

#VIC20 #Commodore
It’s an ordinary VIC20 but with a VC1020 expansion unit (has 6 cartridge slots (although I’ve just got the PE+3 in mine) so you could fully expand it back in the day. It also allows you to hide all wires, and makes the VIC look like a PET. They’re hens teeth now so I’m lucky to find one on eBay p

The Retro Frog LS-2 is finally launched! I am so proud of being part of the @retrofrog.bsky.social team that helped create this joystick. I fully put the CCA stamp of approval on this as the best joystick you can buy today for the money.

Finest game of its era, in my humble opinion.

A true shame that more gamers don't play this, but genuinely wonderful when more appear showing their admiration for this masterpiece.

It's the 23rd century and I was the hottest pilot in the Galactic Fleet. But that never challenged my piloting skills like this job. Great money too!

In '82, the #C64 launched at $595.
That’s nearly $2,000 today; for 64KB of RAM and RF output.

Forty years…
The C64 Ultimate gives you HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi game downloads, modern connectivity; starting at just $300.

Same magic. Way less allowance.
And only 48 hours left.

Literally just dropped a few moments ago. Proton of Finnish Gold with a cover of "Walking In The Air". I watched him make this. He's so talented.

Give it a listen and tell him what you think!

Monte it has been an absolute pleasure not only being a fan of your work, but getting to becomes friends with you as well. It's the best!

I encourage everyone to go check out Monte's games over on his Itch page and get hyped for Infe2tation for the Commodore 64!

Exploring more BBS's this morning and found Retro Campus. LOTS to do here, LOTS to explore!

So cool to be reading my daily @indieretronews.bsky.social from my Commodore 64 Ultimate! Oh look, I'm mentioned in this article! TT-64, fantastic new racer for the C64! ❤️🏍️

This is so cool.

I've been a QA on this Joystick for months and I love it. It's great on the table top, it's great in either hand, it has professional Seimitsu and Sanwa parts, custom PCB, Rapid Fire (polling at a fine tuned hz), and the ability to map button 2 to UP or secondary fire (Amiga)!

🤘🤘

So I've been thinking back on all the brand new #ZXSpectrum games I've been playing in 2025 & wrote a blog post about it.

I was going to do a top 5...but there's over 30 games in my shortlist!

The Commodore 64 Ultimate is firing up "The Tuneful Eight", an 8‑SID (UltiSID) monster pushing 24 voices of pure demoscene vibes. Ultimate 64 + LMan’s soundtrack = absolute goosebumps. Retro has never sounded this huge. Have a listen!

Exploring some BBS's today on the Commodore 64 Ultimate and ran into a game called "Gypsy Fortune Teller". Of course I had to have a reading..

Looks like @badgerpunch.com has cursed me with a Chick-Un in my future. Why Henning? Why Ricki?! 🤣 At least I get to be in a Broadway play!
