Updating some of my retro gaming blog posts, including this one on Grandstand’s Astro Wars handheld #retrogaming

Astro Wars was a handheld video game that filled a gap in 1981 between the arcade and affordable home computers, but was it any good?

Researching a blog post on the Galaxy Invader range of handheld games, and found 5 so far…the original Gakken, and then versions from CGL, Tandy, Vanity Fair and Lansay. Has anyone found any other versions (not the sequels)?

PS I must have built over 50 sets and every time I think I have a missing piece I find it under a sofa or realise I’ve used it already by mistake. Your QA process must be very thorough!.

Dear @LEGO_Group thanks for the spare part you sent to replace the missing piece I just found attached to the bottom of my half-assembled Lamborghini Countach. I promise to post it back!

Do you know any independent video game shops in the UK? I’m updating my interactive map to show where there are game stores near you. Any missing from my list, as well as any feedback, photos please let me know! #retrogaming

Independent retro games shops can still be found in the UK, but few and far between. My map of the UK's retro game stores will help find one near you.

Updating my review of Space Ace on the blog, and adding in some animations as this is the only way to get across how good the game looked….not so great to play though!
