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!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #TechnoCop , reading the cassette this sounds like a great game, I just can't drive quick enough to get to a crime scene!

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.

Today's educational #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #AstroMaths #Scisoft did their best to make #maths fun. This program involves an Asteroids-type game when a few questions are correct. It never worked for me as I didn't like that sort of game !

Hard to think 3 weeks ago this was a stinky, unused draughty garage. Soon it will be a bedroom as we become a family of 3 people

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #LazerWheel, just shoot the baddies round the edge, sounds easy? Miss them and your bullet can then rebound and kill you next time. It's way too addictive as well!

Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64 #C64 #ShortCircuit. Just listen to the music on the title screen, then go and investigate all those desks and cupboards. There has to be something useful in a few of them, let no drawer remain unopened!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #Demonslair. Find the code word by collecting the letters correctly, collect the key, and then move on to the next level. Starts easy but then becomes challenging. An excellent game this one.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #NightBreed, although the game is far too difficult for my skills, it still is a wonderfully engrossing game to get lost in and the graphics are fantastic.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #TombofDracula an early maze game but still quite engrossing on a wet afternoon, plus you can break into the program as well.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum 3D #BatAttack. Find your way around a 3D maze avoiding the crazed large magenta bats. It is easy to get disorientated by the black walls, ceilings and floors, but it's a nostalgia type of game.
