Looking through a box of Game & Watch handheld consoles from the '80s. Game Boy Pockets, Neo Geo games and other fun retro gaming pickups. A hint at future fix-up projects...

I’ll be there on the Sunday for my first RetroFest, coming all the way from Australia. Looking forward to having a wander around and checking out the exhibits.
A friend fixed up some screens that had gone dull on a bunch of Game & Watch handhelds from the '80s. Check out the results and hear how he did it in this quick video.

Is this game going to lure us across... we gave the new Marathon by Bungie a try for the first time, earlier this week. #MarathonTheGame

RetroFest UK 2026 last weekend was so worth going to for this Aussie. It was held in a stream museum in Swindon. Nice people and jam packed with exhibits. I even saw a few retro computers I hadn't seen before. #RetroFest2026
Currently travelling around England and seeing the sights. It’s been real nice so far. Wild stepping into buildings older than anything this Aussie is used to back home.
What’s the mouse like on a X68000? I found a project/design for a USB to X68K mouse adaptor, so that I could use my modern reproduction Zuiki X68000 mouse on my Sharp X68000 Ace’s mouse port. Built it, and finally get to play around with mouse software and games.

Reviving a sad Macintosh Plus for #MARCHintosh and its 40th. Playing games, exploring drives, letting it moonlight as a big Maclock, and hopping online with a BlueSCSI.

One more video for #MARCHintosh while there's still some month left. I got these (via a friend) from a professor who had been keeping his Macintosh LC III with its original boxes which had even done some overseas travel with him.
Time to look inside, recap, clean, and play.

Week one in England included a visit to @retrocollective.co.uk for the first time. Loved having a play in The Cave and Arcade Archive, seeing the Pump House, catching the Patron Day talk, and chatting with the great people running the place and fellow attendees.
