There is something distinctively relaxing playing Gameboy games on a Sunday in direct sunlight. Better than most other #retrogaming - F1 Race, on Gameboy Light, on some North Sea dyke.
Gameboy Light (with light turned off) has a pretty crisp contrast in direct sunlight. Unfortunately the smartphone camera is not able to sync to the refresh of the screen, so please ignore faded parts. #retrogaming
I have many fond memories of my original social network - Bulletin Board Systems - so, i am delighted to discover that some are still going strong 30 years after (and running on original software like AmiExpress) - all you need is a telnet client - https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/bbs/list/detail/ - See you on the Amiga Underground BBS , i will attempt to log in with style from the Amiga 1200 here :-)
And the upgrade worked. Fitted the RAM expansion and SSF2 works. Shockingly awesome! Mad props to Caius!
#retrogaming Rarity alert: My FM-Towns Marty 2MB -> 4MB Memory expansion arrived today. Thrilled to have received one from the very first reproduction batch (20 manufactured in total so far). The module was never released commercially and Caius reproduced it faithfully from a 1993 prototype. It will make the Marty run some games previously unplayable, like Super Street Fighter II.
Retro gaming collector dilemma on a Friday evening. Fix broken consoles from the repair stack, or just play one that works? Or better do things on the Amigas? #retrocomputing #retrogaming
