Please enjoy this interview I did recently with the legendary Amiga demo group, Fairlight. Quite the honour! Teenage me would never have believed this would happen some day 😲

Here’s your early access of something we are chuffed to bits to share with you! Just don’t tell Darth Maul…
This video will be replaced for public release by a version with different music, due to a copyright flag on this unlisted one but we’ll let you enjoy the full musical experience (I hate to think of your comments being deleted when this one goes away but feel free to comment here instead!)
Hi! Please keep this one under your Shorts, but releasing sometime between tomorrow and Saturday is an exclusive little vid exploring THEA500 Mini's first major firmware update, which brings full multi-disk ADF support and more - woohoo!
It's something RGL (not to be confused with LGR) invited me to do last minute, and I'm experimenting with a new "explainer" format here - hope you like it. It may require a couple of viewings to gather all the info, but that's not necessarily a bad thin...

Dear Supporters
Thank you for your patience with this video. This project gave me a lot of challenges, some of which I reveal in the video as time goes on - including parts, breakages, and dead ends (not to mention taking a little time out after our sad doggo news the other week).
But as is often the case, I have found that more time taken leads to a more satisfying and detailed video. Sincerely, thank you for giving us the space, time, and patience to enable that w...

We’re very sorry to bring some sad news that our sweet girl Noodle, also known as Puppyfractic the 1st, had to cross over the rainbow bridge today. She had soldiered admirably on through a few years of growing health problems and at the ripe age of 17 years young it was simply her time to leave today. That’s something like 90 in human years.
Ladyfractic and I believe dogs are basically angels there to look after us and that was never more true than with this little angel. She’ll ...

Dear Supporters, I apologise for what might start to seem like an unusual delay between videos. It's one of those weird situations where I have to abide by THEA500 Mini review embargo which lifts on Tuesday. Whilst they were happy to make a kind exception and allow me to share the prototype video with you guys ahead of mere mortals, this time out of fairness to all creators who signed the same contract, the embargo is strict.
That said I am using this extra time to make a really fun, po...

Dear Supporters,
In this month's recipode of The ЯRetro Show we get to exclusively unbox the prototype of the forthcoming THEA500 Mini from Retro Games Ltd. I'm really excited for this device and am so grateful that they chose our little channel to help launch it, and it is so cool to get to see exactly how it compares in dimensions to a real A500, not to mention the mice!
More coming soon, but for now please don't share this video link until after the video goes public on Saturd...

First up, if you don’t follow my Patreon Lens, I received a mysterious box from the makers of THEC64 recently with instructions not to unbox yet.
I hear rumours this could be the serial #1 prototype of THEA500 Mini. This means we’d be doing an exclusive unboxing in a week or 3. Or… it could just be some T-shirts or bricks or something. M...

I'm now spending 2 weeks making the big Episode 2 of converting my Tesla into KITT and I have some really fun things in there, including getting 80s Atari joysticks working in it to play Asteroids, wristwatch support, a KITT computer style display, and making the car whine externally like KITT's turbine, in a way that even the stock Tesla pedestrian speaker doesn't allow. Can we say world first?
Over the next 2 weeks therefore I'm releasing some shorter videos to b...

And now for something completely (a little bit) different!
You may have seen the original low quality German VHS factory tour of MOS and Commodore that's been around for years (https://youtu.be/xu8Fi0tC9IA). Sadly a higher quality version never showed up. I've been wanting to do this for a while but the technology only recently got to an acceptable level. It's not perfect, but I feel that...
