(1/2) A crap week or two has taken me away from the fun of #retrodev. I wasn't about to give any Black Friday offers so today & tomorrow (30th/1st) just drop me a message if you're after any of my products and I'll look to perhaps do free postage, throw in a freebie or knock a couple quid off.

I think I need to find other production companies to consider taking some of my scripts on. Whilst we have a great production house with some insane talent, we just don't have the following to get decent funding and the amount I can personally put in is going down.

The arrival has reminded me that I got asked a question which I only answered privately but should probably answer publicly too, what’s happening with Gaming in the Obscure volume 2?
As of right now, it’s probably safe to assume it’s cancelled. There are a few reasons, which will take a 🧵

Let's try something different. Let's make today "make me a reasonable offer Friday".
See something in my Tindie store, send me an email or a DM with a reasonable offer (please don't insult me) and where you are so I can include postage, and I'll see what I can do.

Ah, when you take a look at Yahoo auctions and wonder if the 10 people bidding on that X68000 have realised that it's an empty shell because, in an effort to prove that shittiness is global, the seller has listed the internals in separate auctions

35 years ago, Ocean was advertising its generally excellent ports of Pang with what looks like fabulous Bob Wakelin art. Loved the original arcade version of this. A real classic.
