Spray-painting the Atari XE line of 8-bits
April 29, 2017
I recently bought an Atari 800XE. Having had an 800XL as a kid, when re-buying all of the systems I once had, that was the first I rebought.

March 6, 2017
As I finish off writing the intros to this site, I turn my attention to organising myself to get ready to play the first games from the Retro Game Squad list. It’s a daunting task, and as such I’m not going to promise any regularity to the postings of reviews, but you can keep updated … More RGU: Prologue
