A few years before moving to Blogger I wrote articles for an independent web site that no longer exists. Not even a crumbling headstone with fuzzy moss obliterating the inscription. Anything worth salvaging was rescued and reproduced here, so taking the two hosts into account, some point this year (probably around Christmas time) marks the 20th anniversary of my online presence. Woohoo! etc. etc.
Come on, settle down now, don't blow all the party poppers at once! Brexit could happen at any moment, honest.
Anyhow, to celebrate I thought I'd check the entire blog for dead links, upgrade the images where possible (still no HD releases of GamesMaster or Bad Influence after all these years) and produce an
ebook compilation of my favourite (retro gaming themed) entries. What a wild life I lead, eh. :|
These highlights include my...
- Two part GamesMaster retrospective
- Bad Influence retrospective
- GamesMaster episode database
