Not sure how long I’ve owned this cab for now (it’s got to be well over a year) but I still play it every time I’m in the shed. Arcade1Up cabs have a bad reputation but I’ve got to say that I’ve got my moneys worth with this one. #arcade1up #starwars #atari #retrogaming

I am probably going to write a blog post on this on my main site but I went to the @retrocollective.co.uk as part of @theretroasylum.bsky.social meetup and it is so full of incredible things.

Also got a tour of the workshop with some really rare arcade machines. Go if you like Nerdy Stuff!

A Nintendo Multisystem. I think this is the only one in the UK

🎧 While I don’t know my Amiga, my Arcades, or anything about the Evercade (😱 epic fail on my part, huh?! 😂) this pod was still a fun listen to hear the chaps discuss it all.
