Come on... It's no Aquarius!! 😉😁
Playing one of my favourite Next games..
They are lovely machines. A wee bit too fragile given the 3 (yes 3!!) layer motherboard
The awesome 'almost the BBC micro' Grundy New brain 😎💪
So.... What's on my bench tonight??
Do it do it do it do it do it do it.... Or better still...... Green!!!!
The case comes off really easily on the Dragon. Just paint her!
Yup.. nothing but sunshine. Especially when it's only slight yellowing. If it's really bad (like my Apple IIc was) I don't use retro Brighting as I don't like what it does to the plastics, I will then resort to painting.
Can't believe how sunny it is here today!!! Let's get my 64 out for a couple of hours 'de-yellowing' 💪☀️☀️
I love the C64 version! This is the version of Outrun I grew up with (other than the arcade!). What's your childhood version and memories of this awesome racer?
What is this "console" thing you speak of?? #dontdoconsoles
Repaired and upgraded! What game should I try first???
So what's next up on the bench... Well...
I see that Pete was driving again..
My.. what a big axe you have 🪓
Pfff....... thats clearly a PI case 😁
What's the best thing to accompany my single malt... Well...
I'll be there!! Come and see me with my latest games running on the wee blue key. Come and ask me why I chose to code new games for such a belittled machine. Also, you will see me showing off new versions of Elite! Running on machines that didn't get a version first time around! 🫡
