Sitting down in lockdown 3 watching some rubbish on the TV whilst reading Retro Gamer Magazine late at night I was dreaming of the time when we could walk into shops and browse video games and then my mind wandered off to when I was an 11-year-old boy who would visit LOGIC Computers in Cheshunt Hertfordshire to buy my Atari XE/XL tapes and cartridges for my ATARI XEGS.

๐จ๐ฎ Badly Drawn Video Games Consoles - Cartridges ๐จ๐ฎ #Retrogaming
Well here's more of my bad art as this time I use MS Paint to create an idea I had for an article on Video Games cartridges.
I'll probably use it as inspiration to draw these by hand.

๐ฎ๐ The Best Video Games Console Christmas Presents From 1979 to 2001 ๐ฎ๐ #Retrogaming #GamersUnite
So as we hurtle towards another Christmas in 2020 I thought it would be good to take a look at the best video games related Christmas presents from down the years.
These are either cool machines from when I was alive (I was born in 1979) or they are machines that I was lucky enough to get for Christmas.
My sister got a Pong machine in the early 80s for Christmas and I can barely remember it but after that Christmas, I was always eager for a Christmas video game or a console to be popped into my Christmas stocking.
There was the classic Christmas when I was desperate for a ZX Spectrum +2 but Dad got me an ATARI XEGS but I loved it!
Christmas is a great time for a gamer as you seem to get that bit of extra downtime to play your new games before your next helping of cold turkey in a roll.
Let's kick off our Christmas look by hurtling back in time to December 1979...

๐น️ I Played That At My Mate's House ๐น️ #Retrogaming #C64 #Commodore64
When I chart back my journey through video games over the years and I think back to my childhood years of playing video games a pivotal moment in video games always took place at a mates house.
From my first moments of seeing a Spectrum to the point where I realised I needed a PC these moments were all borne from a visit to a friend’s house who had the latest console or the coolest game of the time.
So let’s get into my own personal time machine and head on back to those key moments from when I was growing up and discovering video games for the first time.

๐น️๐ฎ The Argos Catalogue & Video Games in the 1970s, 80s & 90s | A Trip Down Memory Lane ๐น️๐ฎ #RetroGaming @Argos_Online
Growing up in the UK as a kid during the 1970s, 80s and 90s meant that the Argos catalogue was a British kid's go-to piece of literature should you want to plan your next birthday or Christmas presents.
My first port of call was always the Video Games section which I looked at on a daily basis leading up to Christmas and Birthdays. My sister and I would play the Argos catalogue game where you would have to choose one item to buy from EVERY page and then initial it. I'd often end up having to circle and initial a duvet set that I didn't want to be followed by a Corby trouser press.
When we got to the Video Games section though the choice would be impossible to make as I was presented with all the latest video games related accessories and consoles!
My love for the Argos catalogue has carried on to this day and I still pick up a copy to circle items while playing the catalogue game.
Then something special happened recently when I stumbled across the Argos Book Of Dreams website which Argos have pulled together to make every Argos catalogue available online in a digital format! argosbookofdreams.co.uk

๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐พ My Video Game Inspired Art "Alex Kidd In Miracle World" ๐พ๐จ๐จ๐ผ️ #RetroGaming #AlexKidd #SEGAMasterSystem
For me, Alex Kidd in Miracle World was a game that defined my video games playing childhood. It was a game that everybody seemed to won as it was the pack-in game with the SEGA Master System II.
My best mate Paul had a Master System II and I had the Mark 1 version with the built-in snail game. When Paul got his sleek-looking Master System II I was in awe of its design and size along with the amazing built-in Alex Kidd game.

I was recently flicking through a copy of Mean Machines SEGA and came across a Rumbelows advert for the SEGA Master System 2 which inspired me to doodle a picture of a Mark I SEGA Master System and some classic SMS box art.

๐น️ Which Video Games Were The Best Arcade To Console Conversions? ๐ฎ #Retrogaming
Back when the Arcades ruled the video games world the ultimate accolade was to be seen to produce an arcade perfect conversion onto home consoles and computers.
As a gamer you'd look out for the phrase arcade perfect in any review and you knew that was the game to buy if those immortal words were uttered.
It got me thinking about some of my favourite arcade to console conversions over the years and I have compiled a nice little top 5 to show off my fave arcade to console conversions.

You have to give it to SEGA though, they went out with a massive bang of consoles and add ons.
In order to try and make sense of it all I decided to write it all down and then create an illustarted timeline to show you all.

☆ Things That Go Into The Back Of The TV ☆ #Retrogaming
Recently I stumbled across a picture of an Atari TV Switch Box on Twitter.
That picture brought back many of the memories of connecting various consoles to my old CRT TV that I had in my bedroom for many years. I always thought the switch boxes looked pretty cool and were an elegant solution to switching between the console of choice and the TV picture.
