About Me

Back in the 80's I ran the Commodore 64 Help Service, and thanks to a little mention in Zzap 64 I used to get more post than the rest of the street combined....and I was 15.

This led me to running numerous user groups while still studying for my GCSEs.  After school I was offered a job as the Assistant Manager of a computer shop where I gained even more industry knowledge......and did a lot of gaming.

 

When the first lockdown came in during 2020 I dug out loads of my old consoles and games.  I stuck them on eBay at the insistance of my other half.  I was shocked at the appetite that there was for retro gaming.  So I started to buy old computers, refurbishing them, and selling them on.  Then one day I got a C64 Mini.  I worked out a way of buiding a memory stick of thousands of games which worked on it.  When I sold my first Mini, I let them have a stick with it.....then thought "hmmm I wonder if people would buy these".

 

At the same time I was buying broken consoles locally and using them as shells for Retropie builds, and giving them custom designs.  People liked them so I started building more.

 

Now the time has come to put all these items in one place and develop more!

 

 

The Future

 

You tell me.  What I build and develop is driven by my customers.  Retro gamers are the best source of feedback.
