Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This announcement made me wanna post my fiberglass Pooka which took me ages to make. Weighing at 6.5kg, it's at the edge of what this spinny platform can handle. 060
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It has been my honour & privilege to have had you as a friend for the last 30+ years. I will always look back fondly of our time together. It doesn't seem real you're no longer with us. I feel I could ask you what's it like being dead and you'd do your shrug and say, "ey? dead innit?!" 010
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 03/09/2026These games don't exist. I commissioned someone to fabricate 2 games I worked on back in the day that never came out. @breakintoprogram.co.uk @jackgyarwood.bsky.social Barbie will go to @bone6502.bsky.social while I'm content with the upcoming limited edition on the Switch. 0292

Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 22/03/2026@bone6502.bsky.social saw this earlier today at the London Gaming Market & thought of you. It's a strategy guide for the Famicom version. It's meant to be 300yen, but today it was more like 2000% of that... 120
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Best thing I've ever picked up from London Gaming Market. 080

Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Not seen senpai @stepickford.bsky.social in many years, I thought the little Plok figure that I made would like to go live with him up North. 161

Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Managed to find the short/ bad joint on my Star Force that was causing some sound issues. It's now working again. 👍 I remember buying this from Raven Games almost 20 years ago, do they still exist I wonder. 050
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 29/10/2025Second time ever to have a game as a console pack-in. Cheers @carletonhandley.bsky.social and everyone involved with Millie & Molly. 170
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Finally completed Sakura Taisen 5 on the PS2. It becomes the only franchise other than Bio Hazard where I've completed the first 5 main line entries. (NB: I will not be playing 6) 010
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 21/10/2025It is my ambition to make a game on the beloved Vectrex so I have been learning about its tech and limitations recently. This video tells me what I know already but never the less very interesting. 040
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I used to play Gals Panic at Game Zone in the early 90s just off Manchester Piccadilly station heading into town. I revisited the building when I was there this Summer, it is now a hotel/ restaurant. Me trying to explain to a staff member what an amusement arcade is. Old man doing strange things. 020
Chun Wah Kong @chunwah.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Next year will be the 30th anniversary of Sakura Taisen. Here's a short unboxing video I made of a button badge lucky dip, together with the rest of my collection. Best viewed with sound on. 021
