Swansea continues to be a good place to look at retro games. Snagged some more demos for the collection and who could say no to Bubsy 3D for £7.99?

3 PS1 Official Magazine demo discs. Very pleased to get my hands on the Alone in the Dark one for just £2

Man. I’m feeling a rare moment of…Self pride?? Just thinking about the stuff I’ve made over the last year or so, and what I’m currently working on. I have a lot of talent and skill, I need to stop being afraid to show it off.

I'm on holiday during this week's #RandomGameSaturday so the game will be Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro on PS1. I released a video yesterday about how incredibly rare the original PAL printing is. Give it a watch if you have 20 minutes over a cup of tea. youtu.be/woQR1GShXxc?...

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! Good progress was made with Lemmings. Just over halfway through, so hopefully we can keep up that pace next time There won't be another stream now till 9th October due to my holiday. Never fear, there'll be a new YT video to tide you over while I'm gone

Half way through the new video but the clock is ticking. If I can keep up my current pace I should be able to get it out before I shoot off to Wales for a week. If I'm really good, I might even be able to clean the car. Urashima-kun is currently full of corgi hair '^^

This week for #RandomGameSaturday I glanced at the N64 box and saw this sat on top. Bomberman 64 is, as with most Bomberman games, a bloody good time. The final N64 game to be released in Japan. It is definitely on the more uncommon side from my personal experience.

I went to the Gundam Base in London yesterday. It was pretty good. To treat myself I picked up a MG Rick Dom with clear parts. I sadly couldn't afford 3 to make a jet stream attack diorama.

The key visual art for the Gundam base in London. It uses the iconic scene from the original series to create the Union Jack

The "Operation London" diorama in the shop. It shows RX-78 with a brolly made out of a Z'Gok head standing in the middle of Picadilly Circus.

The "Summer Solstice" diorama in the shop. This shows a battle between an orange Deathscythe and EW Wing Gundam in the middle of Stonehenge

No time to stop for this week's #RandomGameSaturday so it's Lemmings on SFC. That's it. Just Lemmings. Published by Sunsoft in Japan and the next challenge game for Game Gaijin CX!

My Lemmings cart sat in my Super Famicom ready for this week's Game Gaijin CX challenge. The manual is stood up next to the console because it came with the manual for some reason. The label on the top of the cart says Lemmings in katakana.

Today's #RandomGameSaturday is Shiren the Wanderer 6: Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island. Since SquEnix have buggered up the Torneko remaster, I highly recommend playing this instead. Mystery Dungeon at its finest! Loads of content and if you grab the DLC you can play as Asuka!

Me on stream with my head in my hands as, once again, I have died for a stupid reason. I'm being offered a chance for another player to rescue me but I didn't take it (this time). Down the right-hand side you can see all the items I had at the time. Feel free to laugh at me.

Today's shower thoughts: Would the changes made by games at the turn of the millennium be called woke today? Would people be railing at Kojima for hurriedly making around 300 changes to MGS 2 in order to remove 9-11 references? Would developers even bother to do that today?
