This what a full UK
#Dreamcast
set looks like. All games, all official accessories, all official magazines with demo discs and extras. This makes me smile.
#Nights
is one of the most iconic
#Saturn
titles. I am nearing the end of collecting for it now. So beautiful and often misunderstood, it still brings me so much joy.
It took me over 20 years to find an S&K console bundle, but I was so happy to finally have it in my hands a few years ago. It's still one of the best moments of my gaming life and the crown jewel of my collection.
Been trying to track this
#SonicTheHedgehog
bundle for many years. I love
#Sega
and will never stop my hunt for Sonic games. I am one happy gamer today.
Four years ago, I quit my boring office job to chase a dream. I'd always looked up to writers in games magazines and wondered if I could ever be a published writer. Today, I sit down to start on my seventh Retro Gamer article. I pinch myself all the time. I'm truly happy.
There aren't many people that get me in this world, but my bf has made my birthday very special. He found a framer that could restore and preserve one of prized possessions forever. Now my Crazy Taxi arcade poster will live how it should.
What happened to video games? I have never seen so much excitement for ten year old games getting re-released again. I remember when game announcements were always something new, something fresh. I feel sad that gamers expectations are so low these days. Maybe I am just old.
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but it's not the Dreamcast's 24th anniversary today. In fact, the 25th anniversary of its release is this November. Can we stop using the USA as the barometer of our gaming history. Facts and accuracy are important.
Sad day as I said goodbye to my friend Oscar following a long illness. He supervised my office as I toiled on writing articles and was always on hand to inspect the PSO keyboard. Thank you to those who would always ask after him when he was too ill to appear on streams anymore.
I'm having way more fun than I deserve with Buster's Hidden Treasure. Often unfairly slapped with the 'Sonic clone' sticker when it's full of its own ideas and beautifully crafted world.
Sonic Team Mountain. Almost 20 years since I first set out. I now move onto modern consoles, my work complete. Just a couple of variants here and there. But for the most part achieved my life's goal.
The
#NeoGeo
Pocket Colour is 23 years old today. Not just great games, it has one of the most amazing control sticks in video game history. Overshadowed by the GBC it had a shortlived run but many of the games are excellent.
My choice for
#WedNESday
is this lovely
#TMHT
bundle. I recently replayed this game for the first time in many years. You know what, I was pleasantly surprised how well it held up. Very fun and the music made me smile.
You would think being a game journalist means I play games all day. But after a days work typing, editing and interviewing I finally get to play! Has to be an hour on
#PhantasyStarOnline
to unwind.
#Sega
#Gamecube
My choice for
#segasaturnday
is Burning Rangers. Someimes the forgotten masterpiece of the Saturn library. You take command of a futuristic firefighter saving lives and taking care of the flames. Have you played this one?

It's
#MegaDriveMonday
and I was thinking about gaming compilations. You could do a lot worse than these three absolutely bangers! Which is your favourite from Mega Games 2?
