This will be a day long remembered

Lucky find at Goodwill today. It may be a bit of a challenge making all of these work in a modern operating system, mind you, but I’m looking forward to it.

Achtung, Buddy

Unfortunately for the Great Backlog Project, I didn’t play many video games for the last couple of months while I was in Japan.  Even worse for aforementioned Great Backlog Project, I did buy quite a few. However, I have been … Continue reading →

Partying as if it were 1999
