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

@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

@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

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

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

Atari 2600 purchase this week. I really need to get to my storage locker and catalogue everything as I suspect I’m now into multiples. May need to do a swap-shop on here at some point #noel #atari2600

Had a bit of a refresh on the website RetroGames!now, been updating old articles with new graphics and gameplay clips, starting with my favourite, Phoenix #arcade #atari2600 https://t.co/uBcLSBn6V9

[RolyRetro @RetrogamesNow]

@HRGL89 Thanks! I saw the video and assumed it was your work. I found Richard's YouTube https://t.co/grf5dwZ22z
