Thanks :) sleep is a distant memory now :p

Ooo NWAG sounds ace, I'm based in Manchester, I'd be interested in that :) I like Runcorn. Used to work for Evolution Studios based there :) Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Sounds like quite the journey! I feel your pain, I find Windows so clunky to work with. Have to admit I haven't tried Windows 10 yet though. I use OS X for my work and day-to-day stuff. Only have 1 machine running Windows XP to play some older PC games. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Thanks :) Just sort of dipping my toe in at the moment. Thinking of starting with an A1200, picking up a couple of old classic games and seeing where I go from there :)

Hiya, Just a quick post to introduce myself, my name is Dean and I'm a retro gaming fan. I've been playing games for most of my life and have recently started collecting. I'm a games programmer by trade, working mostly with social and mobile games. At the moment I'm shopping around for my...
