Patrick Furlong's Retro Collection - Exclusive Member Feature!

Throughout this year we will try our up most to feature as many of your retro gaming goodies as possible. It doesn't matter how neat they are shelved, as long as you have a big enough collection and it isn't just one tape or a Playstation 4. With that out the way so far after our previous big feature of Rob Gaming Yesterday's Collection it's turning out to be hugely popular! So here we are with another retro collection interview and this time it's from Patrick Furlong, a member I know all to well who tries to get the latest Amstrad disks before anyone else!

International Amiga Day - The day has come to celebrate the Amiga!

Rejoice all you retro gamers as the time has finally come to get your Amiga out and relive the golden years of the Amiga 500, 1200 or whatever system you had at the time. It's International Amiga Day which is in celebration of Jay Miner who, according to Gyorgy Dragon, was the father of the Amiga and today is his birthday. And what better way to celebrate that day than to do something related to the Amiga, it can be playing Amiga games on an emulator, using the original hardware or turning the old girl white again through a multitude of chemicals. This is going to be a great day as thousands or even millions of gamers around the world will be celebrating what I myself had the pleasure of playing.

The Retro Collection - Part 3

Amstrad CPC 464 & Green Screen

Many years ago when I was just a wee youngster, almost a toddler in fact! I had my very first computer and that computer was the Amstrad CPC 464, with a very bright green screen monitor. A computer that would probably scare off small children nowadays, especially with it's clunky tape cassette player and low resolution screen, but during that era it was the best thing ever, at least for me! It was 1984 and I think I had just turned 5 yet unbeknownst to me, I would have a computer that would start me down the line to where I am today, on computers!
