This scam text would definitely work better if I actually had any kids, but, if I did have any, I would definitely have taught them the word 'baffled', so a bonus point for them there.

Putting my Power Apps knowledge into building a companion app for Might & Magic II. Of course I could be doing housework instead, but nope.

Man City have just taken the lead in the Indoor cycling.

Started a job doing tech support (nothing new for me), but everything felt off and I quit via email during a sleepless night after the very first day. My idea of tech support isn't just logging issues.

I can't remember mine.. possibly some Queen cassette single, but I remember my brother bought the Fraggle Rock theme on 7"

such a horrifying ending

Here it is then- a new enhanced 2026 version of #Wizball for the #ZXSpectrum with many new features & game improving tweaks. I hope you all like it. Feel free to let us know what you think (be nice!) Many thanks to Leigh Ashton. gravious.itch.io/wizball-enha... #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming

it’s just great marketing

Bothering to comment on a Facebook ad is one thing, but to a make the same joke as everyone else...?

When someone orders a 12" Toad and you have to arrange a line-up to work out which one they ordered.

Aside from the overall stupidity of it all, Grand Theft Auto Newcastle-under-Lyme doesn't exactly trip off the tongue.

I've only just noticed that the only players that wear caps in the game are the goalies, which means this artwork makes even less sense to me now.

There's a certain charm to the extra bits that sometimes turn up in eBay parcels. Not sure anyone really needs a Home Computer Club invoice from 1987 though.

Amazon's descriptions of me sound a lot grander than 'this guy sure buys some random crap'

You'll only drive it underground.

Going through my recent Famicom arrivals and I do like the Namcot cart labels, with their mix of artwork and screenshots.. it's a nice touch.

"Given up waiting for GTA"

This reminded me of something I posted on Twitter a while back

When the YouTube thumbnail makes it sound like the clumsy reporting of a celeb death.

For those of you enjoying the Pet Shop Boys on #nottotp don't forget you could be colouring them in right now www.amazon.co.uk/Pet-Shop-Boy...

An unused still from The Shining. Oh no, wait, it's just one of my childhood photos.

Press release: {Good product} has introduced a new AI-enabled function that allows users to {something fucking awful}

Such a great game. I never really got into SFIII, so II was the peak for me. We were certainly spoilt for choice for quality RPGs on the Mega Drive.

I'm not sure it's PC to call them that, but I'm glad they're popular.

Lifelong friend of my Dad passed away this morning. Hadn't been in good health and was into his 90s, so not a shock, but still a sad day. This will always be my favourite photo of him (on the left) and my Dad - looking like a proud manager showing off the latest club signing :)

Chances are this nine would change as I remember other games, but Chaos will always be my number one.

Sometimes, eBay product descriptions are refreshingly honest.

Damn, the Amstrad is a long 'un. Been trying to find somewhere to store it till I need it again and this is about the only place it fits.

Browsing PC games for sale is basically: "It's like Sim City, but it's a rogue-like!" "It's like Scrabble, but it's a rogue-like!" "It's like Scalextric, but it's a rogue-like!" "It's a pinball game, but it's a rogue-like!" ... Sigh

Once all the console games are download-only, explaining this to a youngster will get you carted off to a home.

www.youtube.com/shorts/UamDj... Think this cartridge might be a little faulty... Although, still pretty recognisable from just the logo style and music.

Such attention to detail in this Amazon product image, including a rare, third spelling of Aluminium

Nothing says Chaos like Nick Faldo's Championship Golf (I'd have gone with Balls 'n' Bullets)

Ah.. finally found a word in Outlier that hadn't been spotted yet. I was beginning to wonder how possible it was.

Before the days of QR codes and websites. Not even a phone number. Having to write to them to find out about their upcoming game.

The woman on the Super Monaco GP loading screen looks a lot more gothy in green screen

Been a while since I had Quality Street, so I don't know what flavour this is.

Here’s my latest cartoon for @faroutmagazine.co.uk faroutmagazine.co.uk/david-squire...
