Just picked up these 8 remastered blu-rays in a sale for £6 each. I have Clash of the Titans in a box set, and will be grabbing the remaining movies next month (have to have a budget or I'd go crazy lol) to complete a collection of Ray Harryhausen movies.

Acquired when they purchased Activision, Microsoft have recently open sourced the venerable Zork game series under the MIT license. Full source-code for Zork 1,2 and 3 is now available on GitHub. gamefromscratch.com/microsoft-open… #gamedev #indiedev #opensource

Just picked up a 'The Spectrum' from Smyths Toys UK for £59.99 in Black Friday sale :)

At current prices the RAM in my Atari 800xl is worth £0.000595. It's been 40years and If you double that price every two years then todays price would be £623.90 - pretty damn close.

Oids by FTL was one of my favourite Atari ST games. Sadly I listed my mint copy on eBay about 15 years back for £100 not expecting it to sell but it did. The FTL boxes do tend to get beaten up over the years and I've yet to see one as mint as mine was.

Just watched the Netflix doc 'Queen of Chess' about Judit Polgar - highly recommended. Would have been nice to hear from some of her female peers other than her sisters, but that's a minor quibble.

I just got The Water Margin on bluray and have just realised that Hu San-Niang was voiced by Miriam Margolyes - my teenage dreams have been shattered lol

The c64 mini black is on offer in the UK at Smyths for £59.99 smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/gamin…

Just received my boxset of the restored Thunderbirds 60th anniversary blurays 😀

It's a good month for discs (and Ben Hur 4k is next month). Of all the movies I wanted on 4k I think this is top of my list. IMO this is arguably the most beautiful thing ever put on film. The Limited edition set of Excalibur 😍

Now it's Easter I can crack open my 4k Ben-Hur 😀

I HATE broadband providers. Why do I have to argue every 2/3 years to get a decent price? When I get a price I will begrudgingly pay, why tack on a 12% increase per year? Rhetorical questions, they do it 'cause they're heartless greedy bastards. Virgin Media you are shit!

Just got this Nintendo DSi XL plus a dozen games for £97 incl p&p. I looked up the games on CEX and I could dump them for £51 store credit if I wanted, making the DSi = £46, not a bad price. It was shutting off when playing but a clean of the battery contacts fixed that😀

I didn't know Casio made an Atari 400 calculator.
