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!

Watching Jeff Buckley perform his album Grace on BBC4. One can only imagine what he'd have given the world if he hadn't died so young. So bloody sad.

Only 11,000 of these were made and you can guarantee that only a fraction of those have survived to the present day. Possibly the highlight of my Sinclair collection, the FM Radio Watch!

Whilst I love, LOVE this photo, I can't believe it's taken this long to give the legend that is Tom Baker an MBE. He should be a Sir! o7

A few years ago I bought these absolutely pristine copies of Knight Lore, Underwurlde, Alien 8 and Nightshade for the ZX Spectrum. Four of the absolute best from Ultimate Play The Game (now known as @rare.co.uk). Lovely set but the icing on the cake? A hand-drawn map in the Nightshade box!

How do you arrange your CDs? Do you count "The" as "T"? Do you do firstname/surname or surname/firstname? Do numbers come before letters or mix them in using the first letter of that number? Are compilations separate or mixed in?
Answers like "autobiographically" or "by colour" will be ignored :D

Just realised that my latest Retro Gamer sub didn't arrive. Do I complain or just nip it in the bud here? I've got every single issue but rapidly running out of room, and to be quite honest, I haven't read it cover to cover for a few months as my interest in the subject wanes. Conflicted!
