Cool to see which actors feature most. We just started a Linnea Quigley month so she might just overtake Robert Englund.

1988 is the top year with 39 movies on the list.

Got the Sega Saturn core running on my FPGA system so now I can play that Tim Curry Frankenstein game.

Played Mansions of Madness today. Took

Got these cool headphones to go with my portable audio player and I was sure I’d seen the same make used as a prop in an 80s sci-fi movie like Terminator or Aliens but upon searching all I can find is an appearance in Solarbabies (1986)

Have taken to listening to music the old fashioned way on a portable FLAC player just like our grandparents did…

New cool movie to look forward to…

This has a real Krusty showing his acting range vibe to it…

Played Lords of Vegas this evening. I often describe this board game as “What if Monopoly was a good game?”

That does it! I’m taking the Madame Web poster down off my wall.

Hmm… so I switched to my smaller PVM and it seems to work great. So there must be some specific quirk on the BVM I need to account for. Always blows me away how great old pixel art games look on CRT.

Working on outputting video from a MiSTer FPGA board to my Sony BVM.

Still having sync issues but I’m getting close…

Managed to get Forbidden Stars to the table today. Haven’t played it in ages. I was the Chaos Space Marines.

Had a little party last night to celebrate my daughter Mórrígan. (Obviously wasn’t going to do a Christening)

Had a lovely spread of cheese and set up a little retro game corner.

Also displayed a signed Jim Fitzpatrick print of his artwork of The Mórrígan.

Was a fun night.
