My Retro gaming generations t-shirts / hoodies are still online and there's still time to get one before Christmas. 🎄

All profits are going to MIND, the mental health charity and I'll be transferring the money to them on Xmas Eve.

The t-shirt samples of my t-shirt with every major console from 9 generations are coming today and I'm so excited but nervous 😅 if I'm happy with them I'll share a link to the shop 👌there's a risk I've gone into tooo much detail and they don't turn out. Fingers crossed.

What’s your favorite Dreamcast game? #retrogaming

Today's game is Need for Speed II (1997) on #PS1.

The game that introduced me to the NFS series on PC, I picked this up recently to relive some old memories playing this with friends.

It's a good looking game for its time with nice scenery, decent cars and solid gameplay. You can even tune the cars too.

The PS version is great too, they announced #SegaSaturn and #N64 versions too but these were sadly never released.

#DailyRetroGame 10: Chase H.Q. (1988)

In Chase H.Q, you aimed to catch a speeding crim – and bash their car into oblivion. It was gaming catharsis for times you’d barrelled along in a 3D racer, only to get stuck in traffic.

Oddly few racers later used this basic concept. It remains compelling today. Play the #arcade original and gawp at the stunning #ZXSpectrum conversion.
