Over a few days I spent a bit of time bidding away on some (non-eBay) auction items in an attempt to add more systems to my computer collection and though I jumped into it with a great deal of enthusiasm I unfortunately found I had a great deal […]
The second day of my time at PAX Australia pretty much went to plan with me heading over to another session with the Penny Arcade team – the yearly “Make a Strip” and Q&A. This year they’ve taken a significant step forward on the accessibility front with all […]
Note: I’ve already written a lot about Star Raiders previously as I firmly believe it is one of the greatest games ever made. As a result there may be some duplication in what I’ve already said. I wanted to try something a little different from my usual posts […]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw the post on Kotaku over the weekend which mentioned that a port of Super Mario Bros was now available on the Commodore 64. Back in the day when SMB fever was kicking off a clone of the game for […]
In my first post on modifying my Rampage Arcade1Up machine I covered my plans and built the riser which is still going strong… and still upright! Now I’m on to the next part which is building out a new set of controls to replace the existing three player […]
