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 πŸ˜… if I'm happy with them I'll share a link to the shop πŸ‘Œthere's a risk I've gone into tooo much detail and they don't turn out. Fingers crossed.

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.

I bit of quick and easy handheld gaming on the move today. Love how this fits in my pocket and the battery life is πŸ‘Œ

Now if only I was any good at it!

I've finished the design work for the t-shirt I'm going to be releasing for charity this year! It's been hard work designing 30 consoles across 9 generations, but I'm really happy with it. I've ordered 2 tests to check I'm happy with the quality before I share 😊 Here's a preview below.

Looks like I forgot introduce myself! #introductions

I'm Colin, I'm from #Glasgow in Scotland and I'm a retro gaming collector. I love anything nerdy, #retrogaming #computing #development as well as a love for grunge, punk and metal music.

90% I post about games in my collection, 10% everything else. My collection is formed only with games I played in my childhood that I'm rebuilding, or games I wanted to play then but couldn't.

This account will be politics free - it's my gaming safe space 😊

Here's a photo of my current game room setups, retro and modern. Pretty happy how the retro room is turning out, it's my little den when I want to chill out 😊

Today's game is Micro Machines (1991) on #MegaDrive

A game that really inspired the top down racers we have today, this game is an absolute gem.

I remember sinking so many hours with mates playing this, not always racing but just exploring the tracks together.

The single player is still great fun today, I'm determined as I was then to progress as far as possible - but I've never made it to the end!
