Thrilled to have found a slightly higher-res version of the greatest videogame cover of all time.

I was talking to a friend and colleague at work today - someone who's only played videogames very casually in the years I've known her - and she suddenly dropped "I've been playing Clockwork Knight on my Sega Saturn" into the conversation. You never truly know another person, huh.

I went to see the 40th anniversary re-release of Transformers The Movie at the cinema earlier, and I've gotta admit when The Touch kicked in and Optimus Prime was jumping around I was Feeling Some Emotions.

Why, I don't know what people mean when they describe ZX Spectrum graphics as "garish" or "potentially damaging to retinas".
Title screen from The Devil's Crown, ZX Spectrum. If you were being charitable you might describe it as "a riot of colour".

Tee hee.
Half of an 80s microcomputer ad. A dusty TV and ZX Spectrum, with the text "we've just won an award for blowing." Because I'm mentally 12 years old, this made me laugh. The other half of the ad read "away the cobwebs."

Probably a sign I need more sleep that I keep laughing at this Lego manual page. Instruction: Block. You need: Block. Step 1: Have Block.
A Lego instruction manual page. A single flat 4x2 piece alone in a grey void, somehow perfectly encapsulating the feeling of a Sunday afternoon when you've got work in the morning.

Is depicting Moses as a fusion of man and ZX Spectrum sacrilegious? Sure, probably, but don't forget it also looks pretty upsetting.
A Spanish ZX Spectrum magazine depicting Moses(?) holding up the tablets of the ten commandments, except the tablets are circuit boards and he has a ZX Spectrum keyboard for a face.
