I love retro and modern video gaming especially arcade games
I also love cheesy slasher horror films from the late 70s to mid 80s
In fact anything old and tasteless much like myself is what I cherish most.
I'm on TwitchTV/8589brian 👍

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our colleague Nick Thorpe passed away on Monday. He was an incredibly lovely person, a talented writer and an essential part of the magazine.
Our thoughts go out to all his friends and family at this difficult time.
Rest in peace, friend.

Bring back arcade culture. Grab some coins and friends and get yourself outside the house to go and play videogames the fashion way.
Its an amazing experience kids today have missed out on.
Luckily retro arcades are about but sadly not on a scale I would love to see.
