These would make a great coffee table book. Please tell me you've done one or are at least thinking of it.

Every photo I take is done practically with very little digital work, using household items to create special effects like cotton wool for fire & foil for water. Each set is meticulously set up for just the one scene then dismantled so I can set up another scene.

Thanks for helping me keep going.

Got my VGA to Scart lead for the Spectrum Next so have been reliving my childhood on my trusty Panasonic portable TV.

Unpopular opinion: Once the graphical gimmick wears off, it's nothing special. Maybe I've been ruined by too many great PCE shmups.

"Welcome to the Fantasy Zone!"

Happy 40th birthday, Space Harrier! Released into Japanese arcades on 2nd October 1985, and blowing arcade fans away with even more advanced sprite scaling than Sega's first forays into it and an absolute riot of colour.

"ARRRRGH!"

A scrreenie of the Space Harrier arcade title screen with its distinctiuvely mono-eyed mammoth and big mecha with the protag on its shoulder

A gameplay snap of one of the stages with its checkerboard desert sands and pillars and floating stone heads.

A snap of the first boss battle against the iconic segmented dragon

A photo of the deluxe sit down cab for space harrier with its flight stick and dashboard that give it a flight sim feel.

This started my love of Space Harrier and still gives me strong nostalgia feels today.

Just finished uploading the new PC Engine CD music videos. Including the existing parts 1&2, this now stands at just over 39 hours. I still need to check the 3 new parts before making them live.
