I'm Roly, and I collect, restore, play, blog and tweet #retrogaming. Arcades, 80s consoles, handhelds and home computers. Also create web tools for bloggers

Been a bit quiet on here for a while now, but with new house comes new arcade, the third @rolyretro arcade shed is on the way #retrogaming #arcade

Picked up a full set of the 16k Ultimate games for the Spectrum. I had all of these back in the day, and played them all to death #zxspectrum #retrogames

@IGN I'd want to play Point Blank, Time Crisis, Die Hard Trilogy with this, if it works with PlayStation emulation

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

@oyatsukai Reminds me of After Burner, not a bad thing :)

@16bitnostalgia Snaaaasake!

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

@MickeyMcCartney Help help, here come bears

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

@PixelCNinja @RetroHozza Quite an update! Will check it out

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

I've refreshed the website and am working through all my old content to bring the images and video up to date. Biggest change is to my retro store, with over 100 physical game stores checked and listed. https://t.co/QqkJNaUnKW Missed any?

@sniffpetrol The wheels look so small, it's uncomfortable to look at this. There must be a name for this feeling

@thetimes Massive scam, the only winners are the solicitors (ambulance chasers) who are advising their clients to set up these pointless trusts. We are now paying for parental care personally and money from the house sale now sat in trust, and we have to pay accountant fees on top

@badcomputer0 @8BitBoyUK Dried out capacitors probably, five minute fix :) just don’t electrocute yourself on the flyback, a few 1000 volts could be lurking back there

@nostalnerd @WizkidCoder Megadrive and a Gameboy, then keep the rest for the SNES when it comes out

@radekburkat @FREEZE64UK Loved Elevator Action - you've even got the weird feet first jump 👍

Today I have been mainly filling and sanding an R2D2 head

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

@8BitBoyUK @gamesyouloved Got it from a nice chap on the UKVAC forum, genuine imported US model, still runs on 115v and quarters :)

Just an original Donkey Kong cabinet, sitting quietly in my home office #arcade #donkeykong

@S0UNDK1LLAH66 @gamesyouloved @WizkidCoder That’s the story I tell everyone - BBC micro lead to Computing degree at Aston, met friends on course and started a software business, also met my wife! All thanks to the Beeb

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

@S0UNDK1LLAH66 @gamesyouloved @WizkidCoder Me too - "O Level" Computer Science back when that was a thing, at the local tech college as the school didn't do computer qualifications in 1987

@rhayadercompute Cheers. I have a Babmbu H2S, doing some fun prints with it
