☆ Timewarp Arcade - Bridgwater - "Let’s do the Timewarp (arcade) again." ☆ #Retrogaming

I wrote an article on the very awesome Timewarp arcade in Bridgwater, Somerset last year (http://www.gamesfreezer.eu/2017/10/britts-bridwater-bender-at-time-warp.html), I originally visited as part of a friend’s stag weekend and completely fell in love with the place and its retro gaming charms.

Even as we travelled back to Cardiff from that trip, we all decided that we wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Finally, after a busy winter, we had all managed to find gaps in our schedules make time to head back and once again, it was a great experience.

☆ The Waiting Game "Let's Observe Retro Gaming Bubble" ☆ #Retrogaming

I’ve been recently watching things with my eyes in regards to retro gaming collecting being ‘dead’. 

Of course, these are merely clickbait titles in relation to how, since retro gaming has exploded in the last few years with conventions,  officially launched consoles specialising in retro games (NES / SNES mini etc.), high-street stores selling retro gaming clothing and accessories etc. 

Retro gaming has become essentially more of a valid commodity as it gets absorbed into the mainstream culture.

☆ Learn How To Play Mega Drive Games on the Super Nintendo with a "Retro Gen" ☆

Sega and Nintendo, two big rival companies back in the early 90s. If you wanted to play Sonic the Hedgehog you had to own or borrow a Sega Mega Drive and if you wanted to play Super Mario world you had to own or borrow a Super Nintendo.

After all these years it is now possible to play Sonic the Hedgehog on the Super Nintendo by using something called RetroGen adaptor.

When you come across the amount of awesome people I do within the video games community you tend to want to know their background and how they originally got into video gaming.

My favourite stories from people are the ones where they reminisce about early video games memories as I just love to wallow in the nostalgia of being blown away by a NES, SNES or SEGA Mega Drive.
