I have been gaming since my first computer the ZX Spectrum +3 and this gave me my first taste of learning to use a keyboard and coding. I was lucky to have a tape deck for my spectrum and owned many games on the Spectrum mostly on Cassette. I have played and owned many computers and consoles through the years as follows: Spectrum, Commodore 64(games system),Master System, Game Gear, NES, Gameboy(original,Color,Advanced SP, DS, 3DS and Virtua Boy), Snes, Megadrive, 32X, Amiga, N64, Saturn, PS1,PSP, Vita, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, Game Cube PS3, Xbox 360 and currently got my PS4. I love my retro gaming and did recently down size my retro collection due to space :-(. I still own a Megadrive, Saturn and Dreamcast and my Dreamcast still sits in front of my TV in the Living Room. I aim to review the GOOD game to start with and then the BAD and the UGLY in time!!! I could list many great games but you will get to see and read the reviews over the years. Welcome to my Retro Site :-)

Ladies and Gentleman of the Parole board Thank you for hearing my case today...oops sorry that is the other presentation I am working on (joking).
I have been a fan of video games since playing my cousin's Commodore 64 way back in the mid 1980s and since that time I have owned almost every games machine ever released from the Amiga 500, Snes and Megadrive to the original Playstation, Saturn and N64 to the Playstation 2 and Gamecube and now a Playstation 3.
I was fortunate enough to grow up at a time where video games were fun, colourful, new, exciting and friendly to everyone. Now, sadly the video game world is full of day one dlc, glitchy software, micro transactions, update patches, online only and always online drm, angry twitter mobs and hate hashtags.
With this in mine I want to return to the good old days by playing old skool classics and sharing my experiences on this lovely website. Well done to Pete for making this website, he is a good guy no matter what you may have heard (kidding) !

Greetings fellow retro video game fans! My experience with gaming began in the late 80's when I received my Commodore 64. Galaxians soon became my game of choice. A few years later, a friend had the original Star Wars game for the classic Nintendo and once again, I was enthralled. But my real love affair with gaming came in Christmas of 1992 with the rise of the SNES, especially RPG's. My favorite system by far, with games that are nothing less than unforgettable. I soldiered my way through Final Fantasy IV (Originally II, you know the drill). That game was my first taste of RPG's and I was hooked. Final Fantasy VI, Secret of Mana, Soul Blazer and of course Chrono Trigger are at the top of my list. I also owned the original Playstation, yet another system with one of the most impressive arsenal of great RPG's. I miss the days when story trumped graphics when it came to game development, thus I am excited about the dawning of mobile and indie games, in which the 16 bit era seems to be waking from it's 20 year slumber. Happy retrogaming, folks!
