Not exact but close enough and not soot stained.. Intellivision filming underway.

A mock up of a replacement label in Photoshop. The label is a red rectangle with the game name frog bog, a TM and the origin of manufacture Hong Kong.

Ok… I’ve decided on a video doing something with an Intellivision. Because it’s never been used by me.

I have to make a video. But I have a few options and now I’ve got analysis paralysis. Ugh. Picture of the inside of a pair of my drawers for interest.

I’ve had to fix Joy-Con drift loads of times for my kids, so I thought it was probably worth making a proper video about what causes it and how to replace the sticks with new tech. Full repair and TMR upgrade here: youtu.be/-wjS_90v_wg #NintendoSwitch #JoyConDrift Shares **really** appreciated!

What an adorable mascot for the SAM Coupé, a British 8-bit microcomputer released in 1989 by MGT and marketed as something of an upgrade to the ZX Spectrum. Spec wise, it feels like it occupies a middle ground between 8 and 16-bit micros. 📖: CRASH magazine, March 1990.

A pixel art graphic with a tin robot with a dome head and feet and dressed in a tuxedo and conducting music with a baton, standing by a billboard with "The computer has a sound chip, and here are some of the sounds you can create by using SAM BASIC." written on it.

This Game Gear was already “fixed”… except it absolutely wasn’t. No screen. Lemmings music playing happily like nothing’s wrong. And then… somehow… it starts working. I still don’t fully know why. Watch: youtu.be/bZEp_QQMNv8 #retrogaming #Sega #GameGear #consolemodding #electronicsrepair

A “parts only” donor Sega Game Gear, already recapped… and still dead. This one is quite embarrassing. Part 1 is teardown + diagnosis. No miracle fix yet, but we find a solid lead for Part 2. youtu.be/X4_mOQEw2ss Big thanks to @ifixit.com for the lovely new tools! (Reskeets welcomed as always!)

I am STRUGGLING with the latest video that is now about a week and a half overdue. It really shouldn't have been this difficult and I have made some embarrasing mistakes, which I will or course leave in because that's how we ALL learn. Honestly, I'd be more embarrassed hiding my mistakes.
