Hi there, my name is Andy, I'm from Belgium.
I spend most of my free time digitising and restoring classic video game magazines, mostly from the UK.
I've been doing this for nearly 20 years now and I'm here to share my passion for these magazines with others.
I love to read and talk about gaming memories from years gone by.

My main hobbies are gaming, both modern and retro gaming, as well as Japanese, South Korean and classic Hong Kong cinema.

I’m going to frame and put one of these up in my home office, but which do I choose? Persona 2 or Devil Summoner?

The first one is iconic, but I adore the design of the second one.

It's been over a year since this last happened, but I'm getting the notification again when I try to post more than 4 articles in quick succession, that my account is rate limited and I need to wait a couple of minutes.

I know this is to help fight spam, but it's kind of annoying anyway, especially on days where I don't have much time to post these...

Watched

Without a doubt, the BEST movie I've ever seen and will (?) ever see!

What a wild ride...never seen a $15 million budget used so well. The best effect work I've seen in ages.

And this film WILL make you FEAR Godzilla! Never before has he been depicted as such a force of nature. You actually care more for the humans this time around.

See it!

@Ductos
Even better than Shin Godzilla?
Really loved that one and I thought he was incredibly menacing.
Enjoyed the story as well, despite realising that the whole political thing might not have resonated as much with most in the west, like it did in Japan itself after the Fukushima disaster.

I hope to see it soon.
Haven't been up to watching a 3 hours film these past couple of weeks, but I really want to see this one.

Little update.

Feeling a little bit better today after two days of pure hell.
Had a good night sleep for once, so I'm very thankful for that.

Still some pain shooting out of my left side, so I know I'm not out of the woods yet and some more might be waiting for me. But at least I have a bit of a pause now.

Getting a new CT scan on Thursday, this time with injected contrast fluids to see things better, so I should know a bit more on Friday.

Thank you. 😊

I'm really hoping that the end of the tunnel is finally in sight as I'm completely exhausted from everything that has happened this past month...

@bill
I just want to add that if anyone is hesitant about watching an 81 minute video, don’t be!
I’ve been watching it in bits and pieces today due to health issues and I have to say, this is a must watch for anyone interested in the NES in Europe.

I’m quite knowledgeable myself on the topic, and yet I’ve learned some fascinating facts today.

Brilliant piece of work!

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games avatar

@bill one thing that threw me off at first was how Pal B game were not compatible with Pal A consoles.
I have several French games myself as well as some small box German releases and they all work.

But then I remembered that decades ago,I had my NES modded so I could play games from the US.
So that has to be it. 😅

@HangFireBooks
I got pretty good at the game back in the day. But yeah, it’s a bit too brutal for me.
I never was able to unlock the AX tracks as one of those last challenges was just too hard for me.
It’s brilliant, but I kinda prefer X if I’m honest.
The original remains my favourite though.

Review for the Japanese version of Doshin the Giant on GameCube from Cube 8 - August 2002 (UK)

While this is not a game for everyone as at times it can barely feel like a game, this remains one of my fondest memories on the GameCube for me. Love Doshin. 🥰

The monthly USA Here 'N' Now feature from from Sega Force 5 - May 1992 (UK)

I have to say that for some reason, I look forward to the new pictures from the moustached man every single issue. I don't know why, but he always cracks me up. I love this man. 😅

Case in point to why this man is a highlight in this magazine for me. 😁

@splendorr

These always are a great glimpse back into the past, aren't they?
It helps ground the games in a specific period in time and provide quite a bit of side context to it all.
Bringing back quite a few memories that you hadn't recalled in decades.

This was one of the original images that made me take notice and go "what is going on here???" 😂
Taken from N-Force 1 - July 1992 (UK)

I believe he is.
And wherever he is today, I hope he's doing well and is still rocking that moustache! :catjam:

I think many of us can identify with this at this point. 😅

Reminds me a little bit about that dad in a certain Dreamcast magazine in a feature about hardware peripherals.
I wish I could pinpoint that one...

I have a folder named "Downloads" where I keep all the stuff I download and I'm using so I don't forget.

Inside that folder, there is one named "old downloads" where previous downloads from my old laptop are stored.

Inside that folder... no, I don't want to think about how deep that rabbit hole goes.

Yet once in a blue moon these come in handy.

I remember a couple of years ago, someone was looking for a specific video of Takenobu Mitsuyoshi in a Santa suit singing the Burning Rangers song, which had been wiped from the internet years prior.

I knew I had saved it once, so after teaching through something like 25 external drives, I actually found it and reuploaded it. That person couldn't believe it. 😊
