Retro Gaming, Projects, Repairs and Blog
I was at the Leeds Retro gaming fair at the Marroitt hotel yesterday. Lots of sellers attended and there was a huge selection of retro games and consoles available.

I got a great deal on a Super Famicom and some boxed games. Also found some random PCE CD games to add to the collection.

Its time for my monthly report. What Have I been up to this month….
Well firstly I managed to get time to visit the new Arcade Club in Leeds. If you’ve not heard of Arcade Club, its basically a perfect place to find retro arcade machines, and play as long as you like. All machines are on free play, you just pay to get in! Loads of amazing games from the 80’s, 90’s, through to some modern ones. Well worth checking out.

Regarding work on customers machines, Its not been a very productive month. I just never seem to have any time available, but a few jobs were complete and sent out.

This was a full Mega CD recap for a customer. He also asked for a region free bios, new drive opening belt and laser replacement.

|
Next we have another PC Engine Duo for a recap and RGB mod. All looking great now.

And there was also another PSIO switchboard to install. The 3DO USB installation covered below, and Saturn with the full table of mods.
That’s about it for June. Its going the a tight month in July to get any work done with Holidays and weekends away, but I try 🙂
I’ll be taking part in an annual 24 hour video games marathon from 22-24th of Feb, to raise money for a charity called Special Effect.
