Thanks Koopa, looks good.

What is...Facebook?

Hi everyone! my first post for a couple of years! Sorry to reopen an old thread but have been looking around for a list of retro books I can ask for at Christmas, (Elite Dangerous coming out in December has made me even more nostalgic than usual this year) :) These Hiive books look great but unsure ...

Great issue everyone at Retro Gamer!

Love the Grandstand bit especially.

Keep up the 'good work'!

That's a shame but I can imagine how difficult it is to organise such events and life getting in the way!
Any plans for next year perhaps? As I said before, I would be happy to help as I live in Chelmsford.

Exactly what I was thinking! Hollywood are bound to ruin it, I imagine almost all 80's references will be removed and it will turn into some kind of Matrix clone.
But you never know!

Thanks Andy, thought perhaps I had imagined the book

Have a look here:

Can not see how this would work and be any good though.....

Finished this book now and it doesn't disappoint.
It's a virtual-galaxy spanning, action, adventure, war and love story by a massive fan of the 80's, Arcade games and all things retro!

Read it....now!

Thanks Steve,

was really nice to meet you all,

wish I could have stayed longer but will do next year

Sorry to bore you about BBC's BoggyB!

Hi everyone, I am reading an awesome book at the moment.

Highly recommended for old blokes like me who were a child of the 80's!

Can't believe it! Been waiting for years since the last CGE in Croydon for a decent Retro exhibition near me (I live in Chelmsford). I log on to the Retro Gamer site after not looking at the forums here for a long time and there it is! A Retro exhibition in Chelmsford! If I can convince the Wife to ...

Hi,

just to say, giving Legends of Zork a go, not bad, quite addictive for some reason.

Will play again tomorrow when more action points available.

Thanks

A tough one this as others have said! I would love to say my old BBC just for Elite but not quite. Would love my Spectrum, just the sheer range of games available! But then again the Amiga 1200 gave a great deal of fun at that awkward turning point from 8 to 16/32bit. Reluctantly I'd probably have t...

Hi All, for me it would be to go back and stop myself selling my Spectrum to a 70 year old, motorbike riding Granny along with all my software including lots of lovely big box Ultimate games for £50! (Seemed a lot of money at that time) Circa, 1989. Or hide my Beeb for the whole of 1985 so my Mum c...

Hi Guys, haven't finished reading it yet but looking good so far, up to the usual standard. (Love the Baldurs Gate article but wish it could have been a little longer). One thing I have noticed which may seem petty and not be very important to most readers but a few may understand. In the back pages...

Hi Guys, Happy Christmas! I'm going back a bit but the other 'oldies' on here will know what I mean. There was nothing quite like playing Phoenix on a table-top machine in a pub when you were too young to be in there! Just loved the Boss stage on that. Also enjoyed Gorf whilst in Spain in 82 as I li...
