Games that remind me of my Dad, #ZXSpectrum #Retrogaming #ThroTheWall, the first game we had , I used to change the text in this game to say 'Hi Daddy' and things like that. It used to make him smile.

Happy birthday to Skies of Arcadia, released in Japan on this date in 2000!

An incredible RPG that unfortunately didn't get the recognition it deserved back then. Even now it's a rarity, but those who have played it know what an adventure it is!

One of my all-time faves.

Annual selfie with @gamesyouloved.bsky.social at Play Expo Blackpool. I don’t usually look this happy in photos, but just before taking the photo, I struck my usual pose and Chris said “Come on, smile dude” which greatly amused me!
