Old games...

I like old video & computer games, recently I was introduced to Age of Empires 2 & the Conquerors expansion. before that I pulled out my Gameboy Advance SP and went game hunting, certain DOS games have been ported over, and apart from the screen size they were true to the originals.

One such purchase was Wolf 3D, after I hit the payment button, I went looking at the reviews and they were awful, I felt like I made a mistake placing the order.  Once I started playing it, I had to ask, "what is wrong with those people" of course the graphics and sound seem out of date.. its a 15 year old game! and it plays just like the 15 year old game did 15 years ago. Other ports I like are the Lost Vikings & Xevious (an old arcade game).

I dont need the latest and greatest game, or gaming rig for that matter (though mines not too shabby), when so many older games are out there to be discovered and played.

Most recent 25mm accessories...

... and probably last for a while, unless I see a Lledo vehicle I havent seen before...


Lledo Taxi, Police car and British military Mack truck in front of a K-line factory (Model 6-21378)



Factory will probably be permentantly assembled and painted up, but for the time being, it will stay as is... I have about 50 pulp style figures left to paint
