I gotta tell you, I'm quite proud of these Christmas cards I made for my nieces.

Another Christmas surprise!  I got a really nice lot of Colecovision loot from the Colecovision Lunatics Facebook group.  Magnets, stickers, etc.  It's a good group to follow if you love Coleco stuff.

Woe to any person that finds one of these under the tree this Christmas!
Cute, cuddly and with a voracious appetite for mischief, the Gremlins wreak havoc in this 1986 Atari 5200 movie tie-in title. Notably, Gremlins was the last official game released for Atari's ill-fated console.

Hair looks like shit but I ain't combing it, it's Sunday just under a week before CHRISTMAS. In the meantime, CHEERS to all. Happy Holidays and hopes you all have a wonderful Christmas. 🎅Might be the WINE talking (it definitely IS 😆) but....I LOVE YOU ALL. This goes not only for members here but all, YES ALL staff that keeps this a wonderful site for me to visit daily. Just wanted to say it in case I forget or an too busy over the next few days even though I have no life and will likely still be here everyday up to Christmas. 🤷‍♂️

 

Asteroids: Recharged really rocks! 🕹️🚀🪨

A Kay-Bee ad from 1984 that is circulating on Facebook.  Wouldn't it be cool to take the DeLorean time machine back to that time with a wad of cash and buy everything in sight?

Wife treated me to an early Christmas gift, an awesome shirt and three comfy brushed flannel Panama bottoms to lounge in. 😎👍

I took a bit of time today to clean out the dust from my desktop PC.  Why not take a few pics while I'm at it?

🎧 Currently listening to Tony Clifton - Man On The Moon. Tony Clifton, an absolute CLASS ACT! To come out and funeralize that dead kid after he spent so many years using Tony Clifton's good name to get places. Absolute king. 
 

I've finally completed all challenges in single player mode for Black Widow Recharged on the Atari VCS! It was probably the most satisfying gaming achievement of 2021 for me. 
The VCS version has 40 challenges, compared to 30 in other versions of the game. The 10 VCS exclusive challenges were among the most difficult in the game. There were definitely some controller throwing moments! 
What were your most satisfying gaming victories of 2021?!

I've got the day off work.  My plan is to stay home, clean up a few messes and play some games (Cybermorph and 2600 Boxing).  Tomorrow will be time to finish up Secret Santa and start decorating for the holiday. 

I hope you all have a nice weekend!

Farewell King - RIP 😔 Masayuki Uemura, the former lead architect of the NES and SNES, has passed away. He was one of the genius minds behind some of our best game memories.

Cheers! Earlier tonight we had a treat, Chocolate Spiced Rye Whisky ! 😎
