With NJPW struggling due to years of bad business and combining wrestling with MMA, they turn to a certain Next Big Thing to keep them afloat. Things don't go to plan.

Hi everyone!
Last year, I found something new that I loved doing -- videos about Puroresu, or Japanese Wrestling. People seemed to love watching them too...but alas, they couldn't last, and were struck down. I had to stop doing them on YouTube alas, because it simply wasn't worth losing the whole channel over -- it is a...

A whole decade is in the books, which means it's time to take a look back at it. And so, here's my favourites from the past 10 years. Hopefully you enjoy this latest bit of listy goodness!
2020-01-27 09:57:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo this was meant to be a quickie video to put out before I get stuck into the 2nd half of System-3! Thanks to Christmas, New Year and other things it's taken a bit longer...but still, here it is - a look at some rather odd little Ninja games. Including the likes of BMX Ninja, Ninja Hamster, Ninja Scooter Simulator...and Surf...

It's the last Kim Justice video of the year, and of the decade! In this vid we have a look at a range of games for a computer that doesn't get as much love on this channel as it should -- the Amstrad CPC. Helping me along are 5 big Amstrad fans, including the core of YouTube's brilliant Amstrad community. We've got Top Hat Ga...

Well, here it is! The first part of a two-part look at System-3, starting with their work on the 8-bit machines -- in particular, the Commodore 64. Meaning there's titles like The Last Ninja, International Karate and IK+, Myth, Flimbo's Quest...quite a lot of serious titles. Enjoy!
Sorry I haven't been doing my usual up...

Here we go! A look at the mini-fad from the PS1 era for remakes of some of the great arcade games from the golden age. This was mostly led by Hasbro during the 2 years they owned Atari Interactive. The results are variable, but there's some real gems here! Enjoy.

Things with YouTube, happily, really seem to be kicking back on lately. The response to the latest video, about some strange little computer ports, was bloody fantastic -- way better than what I was expecting, to be ho...

Today we're looking at some rather obscure and bad ports of arcade and console games to various computers like the Spectrum, C64, Amiga and Amstrad! There's the likes of Street Fighter, Chase H.Q., Out Run, and even Ninja Gaiden to be found here, as well as plenty more. And there's also a pretty decent port you may not know t...

It's another new video, and I fancied a bit of ultra-hard platforming this time. We're looking at Ghosts 'n' Goblins and Ghouls 'n' Ghosts! What makes these games so ruddy difficult, and why are they important? It's all here. Enjoy!
BTW, later on in the week I'll be making a big post that'll go through some changes that...

This is like, the lousy leg n' tooth special. Another list! But it's for something a bit more underappreciated - the Sega Master System. Hope you enjoy the best and brightest from Sega's 8-bit wonder.

It's been too long, but finally we return to the world of football games. 10 games from 10 platforms have been picked out, and...well, at best they're weird takes on things like foosball and Subbuteo. At worst, they're absolute stinkers, and they include an Amiga game that quite rightly takes its place as the worst football g...

Hey hey. Here we go with another vid - this time, it's a review of Bitmap Bureau's absolutely banging new arena shooter for the Mega Drive, Xeno Crisis. It's just come out, and I thought I'd have a little bit of a look at it...and while it's on a bunch of other platforms, what better place to look at it than on the Mega Drive...

Bloody hell! A new video that isn't a top 100! It's Black Belt and Last Battle for the Sega Mega Drive and the Master System respectively - or rather, the Sega games based on Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star. Two classic games of a sort. And some weird computer ports are here too!
Do enjoy the new vid :) this ...

I've created a little survey on SurveyMonkey (takes me back to my uni days...) because I want to try and make this Patreon as good as it can possibly be again, and I really want your help to make that so. I've done it using this site so that people can be more anonymous and honest when answering the questions. ...

Now that we're getting ever nearer to the heat coming off, it's time for me to go back to documentary making. And I have a pretty good idea for the next one...I wanna do a big bustling documentary about the early '90s demoscene! Mostly Amiga and Atari ST-related, but covering a whole range of topics from ...

One last top 100 before I go back to the documentaries and what have you, and it could only be Amiga. After all, only Amiga makes it possible! Enjoy nearly two hours of Amiga awesomeness :)

Here's the first of two videos from my amazing weekend at the Retro Computer Festival in Cambridge! So many awesome sights packed into this first 30 minutes, from a super-rare prototype to a maddeningly difficult game, a bout of stupidity to a treasure trove of clone systems, and so much more. Enjoy!

So I've really caught a bug with doing these top 100's...they are after all inoffensive and unlikely to perturb any, say, Japanese TV channels. And so, here's another: For my beloved ZX Spectrum. A lot of the Speccy videos I've done recently have covered games that are kinda lousy (well, aside from Matthew Smith and Trashman)...
2019-09-06 10:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone.
So...as said in the title, I'm kinda having a lot of trouble with YouTube lately. This all kinda stems from my decision to start making videos about Japanese wrestling (something that I rather wish I hadn't decided to do in the first place, but hey ho). As most of you probably know my Lesnar video already g...

Hey y'all. So, I decided to get around to putting the Brock Lesnar video back up...hopefully it should be alright this time! I'm not taking any chances, so I've removed all NJPW footage (and various others) from the video - there's now plenty of images instead, as well as footage from Fire Pro World and Wrestle Kingdom on the...

For my next wrestling video, I'm taking a look at some title reigns that have either been obscured by time, or are somewhat strange. Naturally Inokism is heavily involved. Hope you enjoy it!
I still hope to do plenty of wrestling videos, although I don't really want to risk playing much footage after the Lesnar video we...

In a time long before Okada, Naito and Omega, New Japan Pro Wrestling were deep in the red, producing an awful wrestling product and being compared to the last days of WCW.

It's a double bill of micro classics from the mind of Malcolm Evans! First we have 3D Monster Maze on the ZX81, which is often thought of as the first survival horror game ever, and then to follow on we have his brilliant and completely unique Trashman for the Spectrum. Enjoy!
