First, a bit of site business: for 446 consecutive days, I’ve posted here on my blog. Sometimes more than once a day. As of today, or tomorrow to be more specific, I will be a bit more random with my posts. I haven’t seen any significant boost from my extra work. However, I have improved […]
I had this system back in 1983, and it was a hoot. My previous console was the Atari Model C-380, with seven games preloaded. It had one control on the console itself, and that was a knob to move paddles back and forth and paddle controllers on the sides. I spent many hours playing Breakout […]
Kage no Gundan II is an old favorite from my youth. In Sacramento, CA, in the early 1980s, one of our local channels would play this program on Sunday evenings. The intrigue, action and music made it a perfect show to enjoy to close the weekend out with. For me, this is Sonny Chiba at […]

That’s exactly what Peter Howell did to the classic Doctor Who theme. He brought in an electronic 80’s (late 70s) aesthetic to an already ethereal sound. […]
One of my favorite things to look up is old arcade photos and game cabinet advertisements. Some sell with family fun angles, some feature mascots, while many rely on young women to sell the excitement of the game. Those are the more interesting since they are a bit counter intuitive. Counting on a pretty package […]
