'ello 👋
Name's Lord Arse (or Mark, if you prefer. I do.) and I'm a collector of old computer and video games and related paraphernalia. Search "Lord Arse" on your favourite engine (Altavista, Excite, Lycos, Yahoo! etc.) and you'll probably find me, though I won't admit to anything.
Thanking you!

Do people still collect Tubbz? No idea, but they're part of my next batch for the store. Also, about a dozen copies of Dr Kawashima's Brain Training, which is kinda ironic 😅

Chucked a few "Strike" series Mega Drive games up there as well, just for fun :)
Another nice bunch of Sega Master System games up today, including World Grand Prix, Great Football, World Soccer, and what feels like my 200th copy of Super Kick Off!
Got some Acorn Electron and about 24 The Sims (1, 2 & 3) titles coming up in the next few days.

Watching old Top of the Pops, moaning about how crap all the acts are on social media yet continue to watch it for the next three hours #totp
What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Absolutely loved REM from their first songs all the way up to New Adventures in Hi-Fi. Everything after that was just boring, as they are demonstrating quite well here #totp

Directed by Tony White, who also gave us the brilliant Lamot Lager adverts, this stunningly bizarre 1982 Sony Tape advert channeled strong Metal Hurlant/Roger Dean vibes. John Peel on voiceover duties, there.

When you dig around some of your retro goodness for the eBay store and find an Acorn Electron, Electron cassette player, and Commodore PET cassette player!
Also been able to reunite some Game Boy games to their original boxes, which is rewarding, in more ways than one!
