Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #Gnomos, I have no idea what to do , but I did enjoy wandering around with nothing to kill you. It's bright and cheerful and also relaxing!

Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64 #C64 #TopCat. A maze game to find your gang it's a little tricky, and you will get lost many times. But the music is interesting and a little jazz-inspired, plus it's Top Cat, so it's got to be played for #Nostalgia!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #RobotScape (or possibly Escape) . It needs a power bar otherwise it's just instant death (with eye strain) which is a shame as it is a nice game!

Todays modern-ish #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #Blackstar a monochrome shoot 'em up which is lovely and retro and not too fast, just right for me!

Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64 #C64 #HeroOfTheGoldenTalisman, this looks wonderful and has a power bar so you don't die immediately . Timing jumps is a little tricky initially, but I feel this game could get quite addictive.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #DuckOut . This works really well in black and white. Defend yourself with your frying pan as you hit up or down to find the required objects, but don't hang around, as there is a time limit.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #AfricanTrailSimulator . Time to get on your #motorbike and ride, wobble and fall off. This is actually quite relaxing once you get the hang of not going at full throttle! It has lovely graphics.
