RG35XXSP - Driskys New Toy

RGDS Podcast 2024-10-19 | A quick video showing some of the games running and what the RG35XXSP is like.

I bought it from Amazon here with two SD cards.

amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D5BD5XDS?psc=1&smid=AZRWUXRCVK9JY&ref_=chk_typ_quicklook_titleToDp

You can buy half the price on Ali Express and places like that, but I prefer using Amazon, which offers next-day and free delivery.

Anyway, it is a great device, and I heartily recommend it.

Drisky Plays Doom 1 and 2 2024 Remastered game

RGDS Podcast 2024-08-12 | id Software and Nightdive studios have remastered Doom 1 and 2, with multiplayer and all the mods, including Sigil 1 and 2 by John Romero. It also has a new Episode made by ID in 2024.

The game is a stunning remaster, and even better; if you have bought the game before, say on Steam, it will upgrade it for free. But it is well worth buying if you don't own it. Anyway, it is a little rambling as Drisky tries to play and chat, but it may give you an idea of the game and whether it is for you.

RGDS Podcast - 335 : Your Sinclair Top 100 part 1

RGDS Podcast 2024-01-27 | Your Sinclair was one of the "Big 3" Spectrum magazines, alongside CRASH and Sinclair User. It was considered to be more humourous and zany than its contemporaries. Its final issue was in September 1993, which was an incredible run, considering the 16-bit computers had taken foothold years prior. In 1991, they published their top 100 games list, which was compiled by staff writer Stuart Campbell. It was a comprehensive list of games featuring many classics (and some curveballs). Join Drisky and Kingy as they go through the games on this list. With thanks to Gary Arnott for recreating that final cover for our own poster for this episode.

Here are the first 50 games in the first part:

RGDS Halloween Movies Month of Horror Challenge - Week Four - 23rd to 31st Oct 2023

RGDS Podcast 2023-10-01 | Hi its the Drisk, I Love Halloween and so I thought I would do something a little different to retro video games and instead look to horror movies where over October I plan to watch at least one horror movie a day, with the weekend including Friday making it a double bill or even triple bill. . The schedule is designed for in October 2023 when we are all in that spooky mood, but of course, this list could be done at any time, at any pace, and can be seen as a fun curated horror list to enjoy.

Now my taste is away from the really gory and grizzly and instead more on spooky or self-aware and comedy horror films. I have also tried to avoid the big series like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street, Exorcist and the like. And go for ones you may not have seen before.
