Reminds me of this classic from the 419 Scam Eaters of about 20 years ago. They got some scammer in Nigeria to make this:

iRacing Arcade graphic

I was a little resistant to picking this up so soon after launch but I have to say it's bloody excellent. Arcade action and absolutely stunning visuals. @iracing.com #iracing #iracingarcade #simracing

I had no idea the Beeb was still being made then. Blimey. Good shout.

So looks like I missed a few on my list of gaming systems you could buy new 35 years ago. Here is the latest!

NES
Master System
Game Boy
Game Gear
Lynx
PC Engine
Mega Drive
SNES
Amiga
ST
PC
C64
ZX Spectrum
CPC/Plus
MSX/MSX2
2600 Jnr
7800
X68000

Any more? 😎

Good calls.

Weird that despite me having a Toshiba MSX I completely forgot them for my list!

Yeah good point. Forgot about the 8bit computers that were still around until the early 90s.

I'm a Spectrum man myself.

Seems crazy to us today but 35 years ago all these were available to gamers to buy new at the same time.

NES
Master System
Game Boy
Game Gear
Lynx
PC Engine
Mega Drive
SNES
Amiga
ST
PC

With systems like 3DO and Jaguar just round the corner.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: added another village, but not ready to show it just yet as it needs a few more background tiles creating.

Also added a new pirate character portrait (thanks to @mementomoree.bsky.social ), so here's how it looks:

After 24hrs of trials and triumphs my team finished P3 in the GTP class!

Superb event. Well done @iracing.com Can't wait to read the stats on total number of teams and drivers who competed at the 2026 running of the world's largest sim racing event. #daytona24 #iracing

"The Games Machine" from Newsfield was short lived but I really enjoyed this publication at the time. #retrogames #retrogamer #retrocomputing

The biggest event in sim racing starts tomorrow. Practice done, setups perfected. I'm ready....😬

Kraft/Mondelez ruined it. Will never eat one again.

Yes they are very close in dimensions. Excellent stuff.

Very normal to have a few extra of the small pieces. What always impressed me about Lego is that there is NEVER a piece missing.

No. It's a display piece.

Wow.

Indeed it is....but as the Lego version does not have the mechanism that uses the notch to secure the cartridge, I prefer the symmetrical interpretation! 😎

Yep.

It's good set. Small as you'd expect but a nice build.

Sadly not. It's an extremely authentic replica though.

It's not functional in a gaming sense. It comes with 3 lenticular screens and 2 'cartridges'.

Lego Game Boy, cartridge and instructions.

For such a small build, it was really enjoyable. Lego made the effort to keep the interior and build techniques as interesting as they could given size limitations. #lego #nintendo #retrogaming #retrogamer

Some lovely detail in the Lego Game Boy. #lego #retrogaming #retrogamer #nintendo

Got to love a bit of Lego at Christmas. My daughter is deep into some Harry Potter and I'm on the Game Boy #lego #retrogaming #retrogamer #nintendo

Genuine question for F1 experts but if Ferrari want to win should they consider moving their team to England?

The SAM Coupe has a great keyboard, 72 keys including function/number pad. As membranes fail I released full mechanical keyboards to give the ultimate replacement with a choice of keyswitch types. I also produced a 'Prototype Tribute' keyboard to give your #SAMCoupe a unique look. www.samcoupe.com

I knew I was right to keep hold of this. I don't need your crappy Micron RAM!
