Surely it's the TurboGabeX only in the U.S. market.
In Japan, it's the GabeEngine with a much better external design.

That's wonderful, Mark. Really hope it goes well.

I cherish the memory of first opening a mag (Retro Gamer) in the newsagent with my name in it. "Paper" will always be the real deal.

You may have overlooked a second memo issued that same year - "Get up" (before the night is over).

I can only assume the excitement of inflating a bottle of IXL Strawberry fruit conserve would cause fainting, thus the latter followup instruction.

But what if you sneak in the gallery, inside a pantomine horse? 🐴

Well, I better make sure 'Delivery Man 2' makes it in then!

PS: For contect, here's a very brief overview of my book:

Announcing The Hitz FM Book - GabeMcGrath.com
The story of Hitz FM Melbourne is a true David and Goliath tale. And now, it's the subject of a forthcoming memoir. But what's it all about?

Hi Greg!

TV talk = ep3 of 'People Want Ducks' (the Get This fan podcast) which was devoted to talking about TV shows referenced by Tony and Ed.

They played some bits featuring you. :-)

And yep as a kid I watched you do that Neighbours scene, confronted by "Mike" near the scout hall.

Really glad to see this Leena!

Break a... (searches for gaming dev good luck metaphor) a... mouse!

Yes Jane,
Talking/beeping cars are the worst*.
(*unless driven by The Hoff in 1984)

May I add one more?
Washing machines that play a tune on completion. (Hello LG!)

PS: As a fellow M>50 alarm/reminder user, may I suggest to your hubby that he *names* each alarm? Problem solved.

It's that mixture of awe and maybe just a millisecond of jealousy.
But hey, it's a stellar line.

Been a big Cory fan for some time. His YA books are great.

If you haven't already read her memoir, it's spectacular.

They could have done the decent thing and waited till I finally scored one. 🏆❌

Oh yes my Melbourne relatives keep suggesting that to me. 😀

Thanks for the vids, will check them out. Didn't know you were a pinhead amongst all the PC/gadget stuff.

No worries, I'll catch them the next time I'm there. Last year I got to visit the German pinball museum... memories from there will keep me going for a while. 😀

Thanks again for the video.

Oh, I was going to ask @alexkidman.bsky.social - did they have custom/DIY pins there?

They're always fascinating.

One year there was a 'Flying High' one complete with a small screen on the playfield to play famous clips during the game.
