My name is Andy and I'm from Belgium. Born in '76.
I spend most of my free time digitising and restoring classic video game magazines, mostly from the UK.
I've been doing this for over 20 years now and I'm here to share my passion for these magazines, as well as the games they cover with others.
I love to read and talk about gaming memories from years gone by.

My main hobbies are gaming, both modern and retro gaming, as well as Japanese, South Korean and classic Hong Kong cinema.

Be sure to give Columns a good chance as well.
It's quite straight forward, but I absolutely love the series and it doesn't seem to get any recognition these days.
That music is so incredibly nostalgic for me as well.

@noelreports

Can't we just swap Hungary for Ukraine?
I'm sure Orban would be delighted to be part of Russia and well, everyone else in the civilised world at least, would be happy for Ukraine to be officially part of the EU.

With the Wii on my mind all day and me looking up a couple of gameplay videos, Youtube seems to have actually recommended me a good channel in between the political garbage I keep blocking and the "this is why Japanese people don't want any foreigners in Japan", which is a genre of videos I have no idea how they even entered my feed... 👺

Anyway, on to what looks like a super fun channel at first glance.

And anyone who puts Wii Sports Resort on number of their list is okay in my book, even though I wouldn't do so personally. 😅

Oh, you really need to add Quackshot to your collection if you don't have it already!

@Bogusmeatfactory

It really does feel like we lost something as that generation ended. Both in the Wii and DS space...
While the 3DS was great and I do have a massive soft spot for the Wii U as well, it was nowhere near the same.

One of the best games on the system by the makers of EDF.
So good I bought it twice! 😅

The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy Patch 1.1.1 on Switch is now available. I can't find any patch notes on the official website but presumably these are the patches from the earlier 1.1.0 Steam version.

The Wii hate is so undeserved.
Sure it was an SD console in the HD are, but that's really the only negative I can point towards.

I adored the system and it was my favourite that gen, easily.
I actually only had that and the DS, alongside retro systems for quite a few years before I finally got a PS3 for Virtua Fighter 5 in 2009 I think.

@GamesMissed

Yeah, I have most games I'd like as well, so it's more niche games and B-type game really.
I really need to go and make a list like I did with the PS2 over the past year.
But the Wii library isn't quite as deep as the PS2 one, so I doubt it'll end up being anywhere near as long.

I only have a couple of curiosities on my list so far, like Puzzle Kingdoms, Mad Dog McCree and Super Swing Golf (Pangya 2).
None of which were in stock sadly.

But I did finally grab Sim City Creator, which I've come across a couple of reviews in the magazines I worked on and they are all super positive.
As well as Driver San Francisco, which seems to be a completely different story than the HD version on other systems, so I'm intrigued.
Both are under €10, so I wanted to give them a try.

Hmm, I'm getting really nostalgic about the Wii these past couple of days.
Might have to order a couple of really cheap games as it's been like 5 years since I really grabbed any games for the system... 👀

My cousin just returned from Japan so now my Yoshi and Birdo have a new friend to keep them company. Jiji! 😊
