'ello 👋

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!

I truly think the Games Industry would be in a much better place, creatively, if everyone had more exposure to DOS Shareware games.

Denture Man title screen. It's horrifying.

Getting ready to list some more games on my eBay store. Bit more modern this time around, including this rather rare sealed copy of Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! from @limitedrungames.com!

This was the best thing about it.

Oh, missed the Hundred 💯 emote. Yeah, it should be got rid of and replaced with T20 if we have to have a short game. I get what they're doing, helping get youngsters into the game, but the same can be done with T20 and have the correct rules!

9 minutes if we're lucky 😁

1000% better. At least it flows and doesn't allow for constant breaks in play.

Forgot the alt. Battle Chess.

Been to North America many a time and the amount of breaks is just insane. It's almost impossible to watch a film on a terrestrial channel, and an ad break between the end and before the credits? Madness!

Been to a baseball game in New York. There was more entertainment off the pitch than on. Give me a five day game of cricket (that could end in no result) over all the razzmatazz any day.

Holy heck. American football is just unwatchable. I'm sure they stop playing for breaks and whatnot more than they actually play. Shite!

I mean, they were pretty much dust at this point.

You putting pumpkin spice on those bad boys?

Christ on a bike. I'm now older than every member of the Traveling Wilburys were when they formed. Might as well just jump off a cliff, right?

When the Traveling Wilburys formed in 1988, their ages were: Roy Orbison (52), Bob Dylan (47), George Harrison (45), Jeff Lynne (41), and Tom Petty (37).

Surprised it took this long.

I thought you might like to see my dad's massive marrow.

Massive marrow. Apple for scale.

It's creeping in, sadly.

Brilliant game. Of course, I never even came close to completing it but it was great fun being a bit of a dick.

Still laughing when I think about this.
