In this Connect 4 clone, these aliens are apparently diving into a teleporter, but it does look more like they're being sent plunging to their death.

Two of this week's arrivals show the range of effort that went into naming old computer games from the half-arsed 'Footer' to the gonna-need-a-bigger-box of 'The Unorthodox Engineers: The Pen And The Dark'

I remember enjoying Olli & Lissa back in the day and was surprised when Olli & Lissa 3 came out, when I'd never seen a second game. Now I've ended up with all three and it's hard to even tell that Halloween is an Olli & Lissa game.
Oddly, there don't seem to be many copies of Halloween around.

Took in parcels for two neighbours earlier. If they come round for them, I should shake my head in disapproval of the lack of effort in their outfits, but still give them a chocolate bar anyway.

Frustrating that this stuff is always opt-out rather than opt-in. Turned mine off now though.
Last chance to turn it off.

Browsing Instagram, I got shown an ad for some sketchy multi-console emulator and this video was on their website. Needs sound so that you can see just how bad it is www.youtube.com/watch?v=bILQ...

I was testing some MSX tapes last night and my 50-year-old eyes didn't appreciate trying to work out which colours from the copy protection I had to enter.

Had some MSX bits arrive yesterday and rather enjoyed this review of 'The Boss' and its helpful screenshot. I googled to see if Peaksoft fared better after this game, but this looks to be their only release.

An animated loop basd on the games of the ZX Spectrum 8 bit micro from the 1980s
This was made in photoshop and Blender and just a fun little tribute to my all time favourite home computer

Just seen an ad for a computer keyboard that opens with "once you see it, you can't unsee it", which either demonstrates a completely misunderstanding of the phrase or it's haunted.
