Targa, aka Rendering Ranger: R2, is simply one of the greatest hidden gems on video gaming history and one of the best Super Nintendo titles I've ever played! It's a mix of side-scrolling run’n’gun action and shmup highly inspired by Turrican and R-Type:

The A600 is the perfect solution for everyone that just wants to use the Amiga as a kind of a games console. And, with this Gotek Floppy Emulator, you can achieve just that!

My very first PC is back from the dead! It's an IBM PS/1 486DX2 66MHz, and I'm enjoying it right now like I used to when I bought it, back in September 1993!
Let's take a look!

This was my first contact with the fictional universe of Middle Earth created by J. R. R. Tolkien, back in 1989, and was designed by late Mike Singleton (1951-2012), who is considered the father of home computer gaming.
Let's take a look!

The Playstation 2 has a huge library of games and there are titles that, until now, still didn't have an HD remastered version or re-released on more modern consoles or computers.
Let's take a look at my top 6 still exclusive PS2 games!

Spanish publisher ERBE Software fought, in late 80s, a huge battle against piracy drastically reducing the prices of original games. At a certain point, in 1985, created their own branch for software development to separate it from the main publishing business. So, TOPO Soft was born.
Let's take a look at how this all happened!

I've managed to grab a 1989 IBM Model M mechanical keyboard in pretty good shape! Let's clean it up and get it ready to rock n roll!

Love the IBM keyboard edition. I have a number of these keyboards and love them all. A great find and good job on restoring it.
