After a month off I'm back! well possibly you might wish I didn't as lets check out the Amiga games from Titus! and because of their reputation, I figured it could be interesting to see what the magazines of the time thought of the games. youtu.be/E85AlM3ZHKE

It's been a week and the Rubber Keyed Wonder book's doing great! Stretch goals are out - we've hit 1 for a feature on the Spectrum clones, and there's 2 more to hit; a feature on cool accessories, and another on some very bad games. Don't miss out! Back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/48k...

Well I guess I messed around with the hardware a little too much, so time to reinstall Win98.

I'm such an idiot at times, ordered a bunch of stuff from AliExpress last night and completely forgot to update my address. By the time I spotted it this morning most had been shipped already. Might have some fun having a fight with various couriers to redirect once it arrives in the uk.

Of all games Lemmings got 2 adventure books! Where you had to guide the tribes of lemmings 2. It works in the classic choose your own adventure way.

I've been a bit quiet lately, this is mostly because things got massively busy at work, and then I had to move! So while there won't be any proper videos this month, I did make a quick unboxing of a very odd collection of games I bought, free via Pateron. www.patreon.com/GouldFishOnG...

Yep, the Kickscammer guy is launching a Kickstarter Video Games vs The World is a coffee-table book that explores the craziest courtroom battles from gaming history Please check the link in the top comment, hit the "notify me" button, and if you like it, please share :D

The movers: we are professional and your items are safe in our hands. Also the movers: we've delivered your bookcases upside down.

And so.... It begins...

A little bird told me there's a rumour that something is being shown at #AdventureX www.adventurexpo.org/exhibitors

I will be at the Amiga Kickstart Show in Derby this Friday and Saturday. With hardware to show off and stickers to give away! If you are going, come and say hi I will have a table in the community area! retro.directory/browse/event...

Well that was a more stressful Sunday than it needed to be! Managed to drop my commodore monitor. Crack the PCB around the flyback. And then patch it up again to work. How long will it work, who knows!

Why do you launch a CPC games magazine 2 years after the machine was discontinued? What is the greatest CPC game of all time? Why do you somehow have fewer games pages than the serious magazine you replaced? And what's with all the printers? youtu.be/r9jDnWGsKKU

Going to PlayExpo in Glasgow this Saturday. Just as a regular punter so you might find me randomly around. So if you spot me come up and say hi, I might even have stickers if I can find them since we moved. If you ever see me at events even if I'm wandering around, I'm always up for a chat!

The SMS 2, a machine that doesn't quite get the love it should do. Mostly due to being cost reduced to with in an inch of its life, but can we change that. and possibly make it the best version of histories greatest console? youtu.be/ySvHThvNzIs

Spent the week in Leeds for work, but because we are game devs, we had to hit the arcade club. Which was very good.

On stream with Ashens, I introduced him to weekly games magazine Games-X. Will we get through it or will we spend about 30 minutes talking about the bloke on the cover. What do you think? youtu.be/7E2lfGPPRiU

Off on a business trip to the far away lands of Leeds this week. So had to make sure the nails looked good 😁 Managed to get a nice effect by layering 2 polishes.

ImageWorks, the publisher with a face. who put out quite the range of games for barely being around for a few years. So let's check them out. youtu.be/B1p8HrYDL6Y

1989, the ST still leads but the Batman pack will change everything... or will it? Does the pack still stand up today? What impact did it actually have and what lie has been told about it for years? youtu.be/5QY3Ud7zNQM

Yes I am a child.

Have a rare selfie as the beard was freed recently!

The Galaxy Of Games is going Green. Is it sick or toxic? Does it have the claimed 50 games? Let's boot up the windows 98 and find out! youtu.be/nTKiYF5VR1A

In a complete brain fart, I forgot to set up this week's video to go live today. Will do the additional legwork tonight and will post tomorrow.

I have a crazy idea in mind so back on my ESP32 thing.

Huh! Today I learned that iPlayer has all of OnePiece Dubbed. Been reading the Manga but massively behind on the Anime, a rewatch might be needed.

Gremlin made and published many !many! games on the Amiga, and I think its time we check them ALL out! so strap in as we dive into every Gremlin graphics games released for the Amiga! youtu.be/7nDXFs8pFN4

A reminder that while you are more likely to hear about a 'AAA' game (a term that means fuck all these days) has used used AI it's actually far more common for an 'Indie' game (another term that means fuck all) to actually use AI. Leave the dump labels behind and judge each game on its own merits.

Rather than take the bank holiday off I took a long weekend last week. Which gave me a chance to update the nails! A nice sparkly dark blue. First Esse branded polish.

We are sticking with 1991 for March and a number of the magazines are giving away full games. But the question has to be, did the publishers send their best? Let's find out! youtu.be/cbk4amkntRs

Anyone want a Yesterzine official Discord? What if it was also the @whathosnorkers.bsky.social Official Discord? And the @gouldfishongames.com Official Discord? And the @yawning-angel.bsky.social Official Discord? And the @timberwolf.club and @bloggospow.bsky.social Discord? discord.gg/5GcKUXFhCn

Introducing the "Retro Software Discord"! A loose collection of retro YouTubers who mostly focus on games and software. Where you can not only chat with me, but also some good YouTubers! Or talk about old games or even software development with like minded people. discord.gg/5GcKUXFhCn

I'm not even sure why a parking ticket machine needs a partition tool, but they need to update it!

Malice was an ambitious total conversion for quake that pushed the engine hard, but was it any good? Let's find out. youtu.be/UfCirA6Vwig

Start of a new week so something to brighten the day, some very yellow nails. The color is "Lemonade". Not quite as sparkly as I was led to believe. #nails

This might be the cheapest rug/mat I've ever gotten (AliExpress so you can guess the quality). But it ties the room together (man). And stops the cables being a trip hazard 😁

Just released the worst performing video I have released in the last... I dunno, 50 videos lol Oh well, hopefully my horrendously performing video helps these 10 fantastic smaller YouTubers :) youtu.be/2TBkCs4Zkk4?...

People will tell you now the Amiga won the 16-bit generation. But the Amiga launch was a disaster and the one you were supposed to buy didn't arrive for 2 years. Here's what really happened. youtu.be/Nv-T7wBHzc0

Got some new colours in, as there is no such a thing as too much nail polish... And going with baked bronze. Which I think I quite like.

Went to do an exercise session and my legs screamed no! So did a bit of arm work then gave up. Been really hard to get back into exercising this year.

Been watching 'Darling in the Fraxx', And I swear the creators just wondered "Could we make an even hornier Eva" And here was me thinking it was just going to be a mecha show.

In a not too distant past the Amiga had its fair share of games based on movie licenses, so I decided to give myself a bunch of rules so I would check out some of the less talked about ones. But were they any good? youtu.be/HzQxXEPvkNc

Ruff N Tumble?! In this economy?
