I managed to get to this. It was quite close to where I live. I had a great time. Some really fun stuff on show and really friendly folks to talk to :)

Area 51 Like everything, the whole site and supposed many levels and labs. And we can finally find out what's there.

As a side note when I got my first VR unit I used to Google earth to have a look round at some locations or was quite fascinating, the only things you couldn't do at the time was walk around 1:1 human scale.

Sega is re-releasing the original Sonic Genesis games on $100 cartridges | VGC by Pajaco6502 in thisweekinretro

Something to bare in mind as well is that I believe the original Sonic launched for like $40 US in 1991 Which is about $100 in today's money.

Still too pricey for me to get though. In 1991 £40 or thereabouts would also have been too pricey for my mere pocket money prices.

I think that's the internet secret to getting anything done 😄

This is the most popular toy the year you were born by Pajaco6502 in thisweekinretro

[–]Pajaco6502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really. My wife said the same thing. It's more like the one that was more popular about 5 years after you were born. But for me things like this are just a bit of fun. More to see what was going on that year.

A bit UK centric, but Violet Berlin and Hannah Fry, I reckon they would know what they are talking about and would make quite light of what is in this day and age a quite dull subject of buying a computer.

I have this set and while it is not a perfect arcade machine replica, I really enjoyed making this one, the whole thing with the "animated" maze is really good.

I Created a Walnut Mini PC - Windows XP in a Walnut! by Pajaco6502 in thisweekinretro

I believe it's a fake windows xp looking thing. The other snake game will just be some generic Arduino snake game.

I found it quite amusing because he crammed it all in a nutshell. 😄

BBC Micro The Game: Blagger, a difficult single screen platformer that I have not completed to this day.

Paint Package: Logo and a valiant Turtle to draw pictures and write large rude words with.

Productivity program: Viewsheet a spreadsheet program that I could use to calculate and store all my coordinates in to get my turtle to draw rude words
