Main hobbies are being a gamer, starting in the ’80s with my beloved ZX Spectrum. I do now have a decent collection of gaming related books, retro computers and consoles. Just not enough room for it all!
So sad news. RIP Nick ☹️

Wow! I used to watch that all the time!

I’ve seen your photo’s before in the same place and wondered what the big circle on your wall was. I’ve just realised that it’s the bloody mirror! 😂😂

I’ve somehow this morning managed to buy a Mister Pi, looks pretty decent and the price was ok 😀

I drove through Wakey the other month and it was like a film set with all the shops that were shut, I’m surprised I didn’t see tumbleweed blowing through the streets! I agree about Trinity Walk, loads of shop’s but nothing of interest. The old market hall was great

Yes that was JAT! Just round the corner from the bus station. EGS was in the Ridings on the same floor as Top Man and Beaverbrooks if you know it. The market was demolished and replaced with Trinity Walk, not sure about the market now as I don’t go to Wakey that often now as I live in Barnsley

EGS and JAT Records in Wakefield were my go to shops

Don’t know why but Rambo on the Speccy. Maybe it’s that superb loading screen that’s embedded in my memory 😀

Got to admire your workspace - bread, kettle, toaster, Vectrex 😂

I got it for quite a while. I’m sure they once did an article on the XR4i which was a bit random, unless I dreamed that

Wow, 43 years old. I remember buying that issue!

Magazine Craft is a great feature, really enjoying it

Amiga for me. I jumped from a 48K Speccy to one, you could imagine what an upgrade that was!
February 25, 2025 at 8:42 PM
Yes that’s the one. Apparently it’s compatible with all the MiSTer FPGA cores as well. Looks really nice but not sure what to do. Enjoying my The Spectrum at the minute, which is amazing, so might just stick with that for now 😀

I flew my drone on Saturday as the weather was ok, read some backlog of Retro Gamer (nearly caught up!) and contemplated some more over the purchase of a Super Station One or wait for the Mister Pi to be available again. Any personal thoughts on that?
February 24, 2025 at 12:45 PM
That is amazing! I also agree scary too, hope you update if it actually fixed the problem!

Now that is different 😂
