Definitely. Nothing really caught my attention in terms of the used retro games, but got chatting to Alastair from Lowtek games who was really nice, and just loved the look of the blue cart. Plus any excuse to fire up the old front loader!
Tapeworm Disco Puzzle for the NES by Lowtek Games. Got this at Play Expo today in Glasgow, Scotland.
Can't beat a bit of Marble Madness. I believe it's in Braehead Arena which is used for Ice Hockey, so hopefully it has a beast of an AC system!
We live in Edinburgh, where the schools finish at lunchtime, so I have about 3.5 hours of freedom.
And this weekend we're going through to the Play Expo retro games thingy in Glasgow tomorrow! Last one was in 2019, so looking forward to that.
I blame CSI and Law and Order. I think they oversaturated us with "of the week" procedurals drama so collectively we all jumped ship to these shorter, high concept shows.
I remember when I was a kid we moved from Newcastle to Scotland and I swear it took my Mum years to get used to saying rolls instead of buns. I wonder how many iced buns she had to go through before getting it right.
I was listening to "Sonic the Comic the Podcast" recently and they were reminiscing about Woolies and I was trying to remember what they sold. But all I could think of was ZX Spectrum tapes and pick & mix. I guess... drills...?
I'm on the east coast of Scotland, and it must have rained last night, because it's muggy af outside. I think all the moisture is just evaporating. Walking outside is like going into our bathroom after my eldest has had one of his marathon showers.
Busy, busy week ahead. The eldest is going to high school this year, so we have a parents assembly tonight and he has three full taster days, so the routine of the week has been thrown into chaos.
