Good afternoon friends!
Just a heads up; I've started a Twitch channel. Which won't impact my Youtube channel what-so-ever.
Link: https://www.twitch.tv/nostalgianerd
I plan doing occasional live streams (if and when I can grab get a break from making Youtube videos), covering a variety of games and possibly other things (Windows apps?). Suggestions in the comments more than welcome!
Never really...
2017-04-24 14:04:11 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning my lovely patrons.
I've got the 2nd part of the Spectrum story to tie up, and then I have another smaller system story lined up after that.... BUT AFTER THAT, what system story would people like to see?
I can't place a date it will be done, but I can at least begin preparations.
Please feel free to vote for more than one system, and/or comment if you would like to see a system not in the list.
Have a great weekend!

The latest Patreon Q&A is up. Thank you for all your questions.
The poll I mention in the video will posted over the next few days!

Good morning friends!
I have a sly bit of early access for you today. Currently without adverts, until it's released to the general public (which may be later today, or later in the week).
Now, I know I've covered the Speccy's system story before, but those videos were a couple of years ago, and it's clear, even to me, that my video production has come some distance, and they really don't do this sensational system justice, nor tell the story in an acceptable level of detail.
A lengthy 2 part system story.
You can see my current progress as the little collection of slides to the top left, and the remainder of the time line left to fill.
If anyone knows the coffee gods, please ask them to visit me. Many thanks.
ETA: Next week (I hope)

Welcome to the first in a series of Patron exclusive videos where I recap some of the feature length documentaries/videos I have made and talk about them from my personal perspective.
Watch here or in Youtube. Feel free to pass on the link if you wish. It will only be available to those with the direct link.
I've got a whole tonne of Patron exclusive video ideas lined up, so stay tuned for some more exclusive videos.
Many thanks - as always - for your continued support!

Afternoon friends.
I've got a few early access videos to post whilst I work on my next system story (which should hopefully be out early next week).
The first is a Byte Size video about our friend, the computer virus.

I'm running a little behind on the Nostalgia Boxes, but the next batch are ready to go out.
If you haven't received your next one yet, then keep your eyes peeled.
Thanks for your support as always!... and please post me your comments, or photos as and when you receive them! Thank you! :D

Good evening friends. Please find the second part of the Amstrad CPC story for your general perusal.
This was up to the nail, so there's definitely not as much room for early access as I would have liked!
But you know how the saying goes... an hour is better than not an hour (may have made that up). Enjoy! Have a great weekend!

EXCLUSIVELY for patrons for the next 2 days, and without adverts, I present.... The AMSTRAD CPC Story (part 1).
I hope you approve!

Here's the first Patreon Q&A session, for your beautiful eyes.
Thanks for your support :D

Given the outcome of the system poll, it was pretty darn helpful that a quick eBay search yielded this local beauty for a very decent price....
AmstradCPC coming your way folks!
2017-01-20 22:52:21 +0000 UTC View PostI'd like to get an idea of what systems you guys want to see in future story episodes.
Systems such as the Dreamcast, SNES and 286 aren't an option because I want to run closely linked systems in a chronological order, starting with their predecessors. So for example, if I do the NES story, SNES would likely follow immediately after.
I'm also limited to systems I currently have, or have at least obtained footage from, but please drop any other requests in the comments and I'll see what I...
2017-01-18 09:25:32 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Christmas to all my Patrons. It's been an incredible year, and with your help I've started making the videos I've always wanted to from the start.
MAY IT CONTINUE! :D
Have a great day!

Nostalgia Boxes for Patrons deducted this month are en-route! Hopefully should be with you in time for Christmas.
I've been a bit lacking in videos the last week. The reason for that is what seems to be a predictable annual illess bout. Thankfully this has now passed, and I am working furiously to catch up on some festive retro goodness.
Enjoy your Christmas shopping (or not) this week folks!

Good afternoon friends,
Just a quick update on the land of Patreon.
There's an exlusive video for all Patrons coming before Christmas, so stay tuned for that.
If you're in a tier which offers postal rewards, then please make sure your address is up to date, and that I have your T-Shirt size, etc (otherwise, you'll get a Large sent, and I'll cross my fingers that it fits).
Regarding the Nostalgia boxes, there was a bit of delay getting some things for last m...

Guys, the Nostalgia Nerd T-Shirts are finally here. If you're a $20+ supporter and you haven't sent me your size yet, please do so and I'll get them shipped.
Thanks! :D

Greetings all. I hope you're having a splendid week thus far.
I'm hoping to get some hardware things covered next week. I feel the craving for a system review coming on soon.
But this weeks agenda is a comparison between the Sims games. Although I don't love the Sims (like LGR), I did play the first quite a bit and comparing software progression fascinates and excites me. Hence the video.
Anyway. Enjoy. If you have any suggestions for future videos (or any particu...

Straight off the press for your viewing pleasure/displeasure (especially the c64 version) is my Chase HQ Retrospective video.
I swear I'll get better at this early access malarkey.
It'll probably be pushed out to the public later today or tomorrow, but feel free to share if you have the urge.
Thank you for all your support, as always.

Ok, you asked for it, and here it is. It's taken me about 3 solid days of work, but it was pretty enjoyable. The world of DMA Design is fascinating. I hope you agree!
2016-08-02 18:58:45 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings friends,
I'm just lining up a video, and I wondered whether you guys would be more interested in a video charting the story of Lemmings (the game, not a nature documentary), or a video charting the story of it's creators, DMA Design.
I'm torn.
Thank you!

Hello on this fine Friday my friends. I thought I'd upload Monday's video on the remastered Battlezone 98 Redux, a few days early. I'm going to try and do this more often, but the problem with Youtube is that once you set a video to "unlisted", you can't schedule it for automatic release anymore... Grrrrrrrrrr. Anyway, here it is. Have a good weekend!
