The one that actually explodes is still part of an ongoing case so watch this video instead and we’ll all escape contempt charges.

Time to warm up the “legally distinct” generator.
Developers sometimes take inspiration from other games. Sometimes they go above and beyond this and make something truly special. This is not one of those times. Watch and learn.

1989 and “The ST version is the best”. Write that down… for later…
It's 1989 and I would have been 19 years of age.. so I wasn't to sure what to expect from this year's retro charts but I can say it brings up some surprises in both games and music really... So enjoy

I went on an Ashens stream and got ambushed with a NES magazine but don't worry, I had a plan.

Check out the video ... as now tempted to paint one of my Commodore computers, what colour do you think I should go for?🤔 Great job @yawning-angel.bsky.social, always happy to help.
Join me, a software guy, for a ‘very much hands on’ hardware video as I refurb an old external Gotek drive for my Amiga A500, ‘Big Red’.

Trust me, it’s quite the journey, and has scenes of manual labour. 😱😅

If you liked the look of Saturn Doom on Yesterzine, here’s your chance!
Also before it hits ebay I have a Saturn Bundle too:
All complete aside from Rayman. Again all in used condition so don't expect anything mint.

A cautionary tale of what happens when you use the tape you bought in Poundland to affix your thumbnail words.
I forget things. I forget to wash up. Or galvanise my tires. Or arcade games.

Oh hello…
2: probably the first ever scan of an issue of PC Strategy Games! This first issue sets the tone (it's for older readers who like strategy), contains an article on strategy games through history and an interview with Sid Meier that touches on the cancelled Dinosaurs: savestate.site/pc-strategy-ga...
PC Strategy Games issue 1 (April 2000)
This is a magazine I'm certain most people won't have heard of. I hadn't either, until I saw it mentioned…

James Bond is a womanising gun nut. Blofeld has the complete trust of a cat.

And we’re supposed to think James is the good guy?
