As my C64 Hit Squad and Codemasters collections near the end (and get slower to attain some of the titles cheaply) I have also been looking at the Encore budget range. Some really understated games on it and for the most - they're cheap to get! I just need the time to sit and play them all :)

Will keep reposting this wonderful mag til everyone buys it! 😅

--=#> AVAILABLE TO BUY <#=-- FREEZE64 issue 89 featuring the great Shaun Southern is now available to buy from freeze64.com/freeze64-iss... Also includes CCRAP games, SID-tunes, hidden messages, POKES, dev diary, Front Line map, John Rowland, Julian Rignall + MORE! #Commodore64 #C64

What a wonderful game. Just look at it. Far - Lone Sails. You're a tiny little guy and you keep this ship moving right. And it's lovely.

Bubble Bobble and Slap Fight were absolute monster tracks on the C64 ❤️

THREAD: Following the sad news yesterday that Peter Clarke, C64 musician and remixer, has passed away, I'd like to pay tribute to someone whom I had got to know well and a great raconteur of stories of his time at Ocean and elsewhere. Lots of great music too. Here goes (1)

Evri safe place *colourised 2026 My safe place consists of approx 2cm of dead sunflower/bamboo stick Vs 25cm of, clearly invisible to the world outside, box. Add in living on a main road and the visibility from passers by is almost endless (sans bush opposite) Leave on wet soil for bonus points ❤️

One for the Spanish continent on my timeline - I always hated machine copy copy tape games and this is no exception. However.. the print work on the label is fantastic considering 80s slapdashery! That Codies logo is so small yet so defined!

Vinny does a fantastic job on his FREEZE64 magazine, well worth a look ❤️

#90DayCountdownToChristmasDay - one issue of FREEZE64 per day… DAY 18: FREEZE64 issue 18 We celebrated Activision/Firebird’s fabulous PARK PATROL and also created two different covers for our readers to enjoy. freeze64.com/freeze64-iss... #Commodore64 #C64 #Commodore64Ultimate

When you quite positively absolutely have to stuff Donkey Kong/King Kong into Mr.Do's Wild Ride... For reasons. The reason being questionable copyright funsies! Extra marks for 'legally distinguishable not Mario, Mario'

Oh no, not a woman telling truths. *clutches pearls* @heaaaps.bsky.social - the perfect response to all that overblown arse badgers on twitter

Gears of War: E-Day is the latest game to become an unwilling participant in a culture war keeping people distracted and putting revenue in the pockets of rage baiters! The voluntary insomnia that these rage beaters display is one of the main ways this war persists.

Fun new toy day ❤️ Louis and Janine Real Ghostbusters figures should have come out way back when in this form with the originals! But still... 40 years later 😅 A bit of modern nostalgia fun

Perhaps my favourite looking console of all time - my Gears of War 4 XBOX One S console. Has physical scratches and dents, the Gears symbol printed into the fan holes and does Gears noises when you switch it on. What's your favourite looking console?

Strange if you think industry workers/reporters/devs are the problem in gaming and not that several million $ bonus company exec that just laid off 200 people. Almost like twitter mouthpieces and reaction channels are just jealous of people actually working in gaming, where they only pretend to.

You’re welcome

Spotted Shadow of the Collossus in a charity shop so figured I'd give it a second chance. Played it on PS2 all them years ago and found it exceptionally dull. Here's hoping it changes my mind!

Also, little weekend shout-out to Saki! Recently bumped into this channel on here and YouTube - excellent stuff! Go do the thing people

Ya-ho minna! Welcome to my Rubbish Heap where I review Japanese retro and some modern video games, and tell you whether you can play them with no Japanese ability or not :) www.youtube.com/@SakiEndosRu...

This is a very well measured look at Sony being Sony. Weird how social media takes one line and runs with it instead of actually watching the video itself. Though there is a homogeneous lump of TikTok/Shorts attention spanners that can't watch something for more than 8 seconds. Hook in 2 or else!

This took me several weeks to make because I went through several years worth of corporate/investor/earnings reports but... here it is! The actual, long-term reason Sony killed physical discs, and why they can't go back. youtu.be/_Znc7MVsSlg?...

One of many things I regret not purchasing at the time.. I'd love a full set of the Final Fantasy 7 figures today, but I'll settle with my original 3.

Taken apart, cleaned, realigned and resoldered - this unloved PSone controller may have bumps and bruises, but is good to go! Just a whole bag of em to get through still!

Was actually in the mood to be creative and start making a video I had in mind.. My Switch on zero charge suggested otherwise. Procrastination is an absolute curse.
