Computers def dont last nowadays thats for sure! I bought a state of the art Top end Packard Bell about 2 years ago , and now its almost in pieces held together with sellotape and glue, yet my almost vintage Dell laptop just soldiers on and on , ok a new battery and more ram but it just wont die. PC...

Computers def dont last nowadays ,

I pop my head round the door every few weeks/months but most of my collection is in the loft now apart from my Atari gear.

After the xbox360 I was gutted when the xbox1 was released and I got my hands on it , only to find that the bliddy thing spends more time on updates both hardware and software than I had time to play it . Spent more time waiting than playing , eventually I bunged it in the loft and stuck the xbox360...

Its in my local Tescos I saw it the other day.

Excellent!
Another Generation of Homebrewers! (Games not beer ) lol

I'm guessing that instead of a screen a plain white wall would suffice...

just use a large cine projector screen myself.
Ive tried it on our wall and although its white , its just not up to the job so I found a screen at a charity shop with tripod for about £5 , works great.

Almost seems like yesterday issue 100 was released with the No1 reprint free.
Now number 200 is almost here!!!

Wow that's cheap when you break it all down.
Ive not picked anything up at a carboot for simply ages, it all looks picked clean where I am .

I still think HD-DVD looks better than bluray on my 50"UHD tv, but that's me.

RIP Lauda a true racer....

Like many on here. I just bought and bought then lost the passion for it. I emulate and play modern stuff mainly now plus at 45 now time is at a premium. Me too except i put mine all in the loft after almost totally filling the house with consoles and games and all i have downstairs now is my Atari...

I have one if your still looking?

Bought Creed 2 on dvd, not a patch on the first one .

Today I went down to the tip with a ton of old electrical stuff ive horded over the years , I must have tipped 6 printers and countless other electrical products I would never use ,most of them broken or wit faults that I bunged in the loft.
