Finished my Project Hail Mary Lego :)

Going to try and make sure i don't check the stats on my Lost video because I know I'm a fool and will get down if it's something low! That said I have had three comments on it so far which is really cool, thank you to anyone who has watched and such so far!

It genuinely does mean a lot!

Cheeky afternoon poke for this!

I'm just getting myself into the world of the Spectrum and C64, so looking for what I should be checking out! Really enjoyed reading that, and gave me another game to try!

‘People still remember it 40 years later’: the making of Chuckie Egg The iconic game that came to define 8-bit programming still conjures flutters of nostalgia 40 years on – all thanks to a 15-year-old tea boy who worked a Saturday shift in a computer shop in Greater M...

Hi I wrote about the making of classic platformerChuckie Egg and talked to its creator Nigel Alderton. Please give it a read as I want to show there’s an audience for this gaming history stuff 🙏

It hurts to class them as Retro, but they absolutely are at this point. I've actually just covered my first XB360 game for a video and started streaming a few 360 games.

Sounds stressful but you'll get through it all! Take what breaks you can between calls! Hopefully things will work out!

Picked up some stuff yesterday!

Aim is to try to get my Lost video finished up tonight and released! Need to write up the weekly recap for the site too :)

Streams this week, gonna be one tomorrow, more Jak & Daxter, and none at the weekend due to visiting parents :)

Yaaaaaaaaas! Charly played the Demo of this! it looks mad af.

I genuinely genuinely don't understand why people can't grasp such a simple thing. It's so easy to be nice and be kind, yet people seem to want to be the opposite. It's saddening :(

Editing on the next video has started!

Going live in a cheeky minute for more Binary Domain! Come along and join me! - twitch.tv/jlsoryu

Bloody hell this is hard but fun!

I've been sent a few recommendations, but I think Head Over Heels, I remember having it in the Amiga and ive heard it's one of the must play speccy games, but im open for recommendations :)

I did purchase a TheSpectrum last week too, as it'll make it easier for recording/streaming, but I wanted to make sure this one got refurbed and is in good working order too, because it's a lovely piece of history and deserves that.

Got this back from being refurbed, huge huge thank you to Ian at Mutant Caterpillar Games for taking a look and doing the work on this!

This is a Speccy my friend gave me, her dad wanted someone into retro gaming to have it, and I jumped at the chance.

When I started doing retro gaming stuff on YT, Parasite Eve was the second game I did a video about, not a great video as I was still learning but an AMAZING game, absolutely adore it and it's well overdue a replay for me.

Absolute innocence!

My aim is to get to 1,000 Subs on the old Youtube by the end of the year, currently at 966, so if you aren't already subbed, please do check it out.

This stuff does mean a lot to me, I love making these vids and sharing my thoughts so it'd be lovely to get more eyes on them.

Need to do a better job of promoting the ol' channel every few days and videos more. I usually take 2-3 weeks between videos but never really talk them up after the initial launch.

For those interested I do chill videos about older games, showing them off/reviewing them: www.youtube.com/@JLSoryu
