The top of an opened Akai VCR mid repair, spread out across a wooden surface with its metal frame, circuit boards, ribbon cables, and wiring all exposed. The tape mechanism sits on the left, while several brown circuit boards are tilted up and partly disconnected on the right, giving the whole thing the look of a patient opened up on the operating table. It is a great view for anyone who likes old electronics, and a reminder that inside every VCR is a small city of belts, boards, and parts waiting to cause trouble.  So much trouble.

Working on a problem with the VCR, hopefully I remember how to get it all back together.

I've been using Zorin for the past 3 years. It has been solid. Just upgraded to version 18.1 Pro with no issues. Running on a Dell I7 laptop.

It's VERY interesting. Might need to start saving up some money.

But still substantially cheaper than originals. Pretty amazing.

Yep. They're never in stock here and I don't want to pay outrageous shipping. I need to grab full void too.

Oh man! I wish those were sold over here. I'd walk in and get one today.

Same. It's My Life was the first cassette I grabbed from them and then quickly grabbed all the rest on CD later. I now have two albums on vinyl and looking for more. I even embraced and later absolutely loved Spirit Of Eden and Laughing Stock back in the day.

New Product Alert: #Seimitsu LS-56 lever Octo Gate.

Designed this for my LS-2 joystick, but decided to offer it for sale separately to the public as it can be difficult to buy the original one from Seimitsu.

Pick one up for just $4!

I 1,000,000% agree with this! Mostly cause I helped Todd QA it for the best overall feel with a Seimitsu joystick. I even tried to kill it with track and field and Daley Thompson’s Decathlon! It's incredible how well it plays.

I also noticed my joystick is the star of this post! 😍😱

If the singer could get even close to Stevie Nicks, that's pretty impressive. That whole band is amazing.

Saki is back with another take on a Japanese version game review.

This time is Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on the Switch.

Not one I have played myself yet. But from the review it looks to be a good game to give a go.

Pocket King Review - A Pokemon Inspired Strategy RPG - GameBoy/GameBoy Colour(ポケットキング ゲームボーイ版)
Pocket King Review - A Pokemon Inspired Strategy RPG - GameBoy/GameBoy Colour(ポケットキング ゲームボーイ版) YouTube video by Saki Endo's Rubbish Heap - Japanese Retro Gaming

My choice for #randomgamesaturday is Pocket King on the Game Boy/Game Boy Color, a Japan only Namco release combining a strategy RPG with Pokemon characteristics of raising and evolving creatures to fight battles. Absolutely brilliant stuff and totally overlooked. Highly recommended. #retrogaming
