A home for forgotten children's books, toys and retrogaming.
Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #FrankTheFlea. Find your mum on the second floor of the mansion. Jumps have to be precise, and it may seem simple enough, but frustration can set in quite quickly when you just can't get the flea to land on the flowers!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #SkateOrDie, there is a nifty menu screen here and several events all based around #skateboarding and, even better, a practise mode as well. Once you get the hang of the controls, you can get quite sucked in with this game.

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #Firehawks a 16K shoot 'em up which allows a nice slow mode perfect for the less able players to play for quite a while before losing!

Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64 #C64 features #WinnieThePooh. It's a charming and relaxing journey through the world of Winnie the Pooh. I enjoy this far more than I probably should at my age!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #PostmanPat. Or how to crash a van continually and never deliver any parcels. I lost patience very quickly with this one. Other than the title screen, it has very little charm. If I was Pat, I would get out and walk. It would be safer!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #MolarMaul, time to clean those #teeth. Get a squirt of toothpaste and scrub away at those molars. It's actually not a bad game unless you hate teeth. Plus it reminds me I have the dentist today!

Today's #retrogaming on the #ZXSpectrum #PostmanPat 3, To The Rescue. It's like #PaperBoy with a post van. It's very yellow, and for some reason, the throw the parcel button seems to get stuck, and you throw six parcels instead of one. It gets frustrating very quickly

Today's #retrogaming on the #Commodore64 #C64 #TopCat. A maze game to find your gang it's a little tricky, and you will get lost many times. But the music is interesting and a little jazz-inspired, plus it's Top Cat, so it's got to be played for #Nostalgia!
