☆ My Favourite Commodore Amiga Peripherals ☆ #retrogaming #gamersunite
Amiga Tinted Specs
Listening to the Retro Asylum Commodore Amiga Bonanza podcast this morning I came over all misty eyed as I heard the members of the podcast panel take me back to the 90's Commodore Amiga scene, it really brought back home to me how cool the machine was and still is.

☆ Has Anyone Ever Told YOU That You Are "Too Old To Still Play Video Games"? ☆ #GamersUnite
Society and people in general are odd sometimes........
The expectation is that once you become a dad and reach the age of 30 then you should spend your evenings sitting on the sofa and let your brain turn to mush whilst you absorb the amazing television that is up for offer such as depressing soaps (Eastenders), watching other people watch telly on telly (Gogglebox) and cheap to make reality rubbish (<insert an awful example of a terrible reality TV show on ice, in the jungle, dancing>).

☆ My Favourite Video Game Shop Keepers ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite
Whether you are playing a platform game, a first person shooter or a role playing game there is generally always a shop keeper looking to take that gold off of your hands that you have just slayed dragons and out ran bandits in order to collect.

☆ Find Out What Makes It Into My Recreated Retrogaming Bedroom ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite
Whilst growing up and discovering video games my bedroom was my video games den.
It was a place where I kept all my video gaming treasures and a place where I spent countless hours discovering new lands and new characters whilst saving the world or managing my favourite football team to glory.
My bedroom as youngster holds a dear place in my heart and rightly so.

☆ My Top 5 Arcade Racing Greats ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite #Arcade
These great games were easy to slot a 20p into them and just get on with playing as you didn't really need to understand complex controls or an in game upgrade system.
They are just classic arcade games that made racing so much fun.
Some were pure racing others were a mix of racing and combat.

☆ Graphical Wonders From 8 & 16 Bit Past ☆ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite #C64
When I was a young inexperienced gamer in the mid 80's to early 90's graphics were one of the first things that I looked for in a game.
Maybe that's a superficial mindset but you have to remember that I was only 8 years old and having been brought up on Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Atari visuals that were hit n miss in terms of quality, any advancement in graphics were always met with an open mouthed disbelief as I witnessed either the latest hardware blowing my mind or maybe an example of someone being ultra clever and resourceful with the current hardware of the time.
