I haven't posted in a while, mainly because I am now in possession of a Playstation 4 and have been distracted by HD versions of games I have played twelve million times before on the original Playstation and Playstation 2. Nevertheless I have managed to tear myself away from Kingdom Hearts to play with …

Video review! 1997 Bluebird Toys Doctor Who ‘Dalek’ micro playset!
It's been a damn long time coming. But here is my first, very amateur review video, which is a look at a '90s Doctor Who Dalek playset! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26uMjdQP5oY&feature=youtu.be Dunno whether I'm properly going to go down the YouTube route, but I thought I ought to probably test the waters. Anyway, thanks …

Retro Gaming! Road Rash (Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, Electronic Arts, 1991)
Many years ago it was my cousins birthday. I remember him telling me in school some of the things he'd received as birthday presents, a Lego Pirate/Islanders set, a skateboard and a few other things. One of those other things was Road Rash for the Sega Mega Drive, which was as he put it "a …

G.I Joe Street Fighter II Dragon Fortress Action Figure Playset Review!
Well that title was a mouthful, but then again I think most of my titles are. You can buy video game licensed toys and collectibles pretty easily today but once upon a time they didn't really exist, and if they did they were very hard to find. Back in the mid '90s I discovered and …

Retrocomputing: Remembering the Amstrad CPC 464 and a Q&A with Roger Kean of Zzap64! and Crash!
In case all of my attention to gaming on this site has been missed, I really love video and computer gaming. I distinctly remember the first time I was properly introduced to the world of gaming. I must have been about three or four years old and a lady from the local council was coming …
Nintendo Pokémon Pikachu Tamagotchi/cyber pet!
I realised the other day that Pokémon GO was not actually the first time that Nintendo or the Pokémon company had tried to peel kids off the sofa and get them to go and walk about outside. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the fickle little asshole that is …

Five of my Favourite Original Nintendo Gameboy Games!
The Nintendo Gameboy was a juggernaut back in the day and was the first console in the realms of portable gaming as we know it. With its strange green coloured screen it really didn't make for gamings clearest picture. But if you were in a well lit room or traveling when the sun wasn't blazing, …

Superhero Sundays! Lego 76060 Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum!
With the amount of Lego Superhero sets that I own I could probably do a Superhero Sundays post for the next twenty years. Unfortunately though I don't have much power, I do have a fair amount of responsibilities and I don't have the time to do one every Sunday at present. That said, I really …

Small Soldiers Attack Zones! Kitchen Combat Site/Garage Battlefield micro playset!
I don't think I've really mentioned Small Soldiers on here before which is somewhat of a travesty considering how important the film was to me as a kid. If you haven't seen Small Soldiers, I'm not going to implore you to go and watch it but it is a fun movie. Directed …

Superhero Sundays! Lego 76039 Ant-man Final Battle!
Lego has been in my life (and in the feet of anyone I have ever shared a home with) since I was about four years old. As a brand it has come a long way since the red bucket of bricks I first owned but the basic premise of it has stayed the same despite …
