My Checkmate Displays have arrived - Part 1
I am pleased to say I received my two Checkmate displays this week from the UK, one black and one cream coloured. Let's take a closer look!
This will be part one of a two part blog series as there is a lot to look at and a lot of systems to try them out on!
Retro Games Arcade console
In the post xmas sales rush here in Australia, one deal that got my attention was from Jaycar, who was offering the Retro Arcade Game console for $50 on clearance! Since it is normally $250, I thought it worth picking one up and quickly checking it out!
Overland Train trip to Melbourne
Welcome to my first blog post of 2025. I hope you and your family had a great Xmas and new year period and got some much needed rest and relaxation.
I had planned that also, but it didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped...but it started out well enough, with a planned train trip just after Xmas 2024 to Melbourne on the Overland train to see family.
C16 games for Gameboy, Analogue Pocket Amiga, and Tamagotchi in 2024
I am finally finished with work for the year, and so this weekend I am finally able to finish some 2024 blog posts I had been working on, but never had time until now to complete!
So for regular readers, you will get a bunch of posts all at once! Hope it makes up for being a bit too quiet this year because of my workload..
Great Duck Race Train trip
There is an interesting yearly tradition in the country town of Strathlbyn, a short drive from Adelaide. It is called the Great Duck Race. I haven't never seen it before now, despite living in Adelaide since 1994!
Atari 7800+ has arrived
At the beginning of this year I bought the new Atari 2600+ console, looking forward to using my homebrew and old Atari 2600 carts in it.
Sadly I was disappointed, as per my blog post here - a lot of titles didn't work at all.
Fast forward to December 2024, and they have now released the Atari 7800+ console. Does it work any better? Let's find out!
