A Lil' Penny on the Weekend
It was a smart move taking the Mega Sg upstairs last Sunday. Smart and long overdue. It'd been languishing underneath the big TV for a few months, where my opportunities to play it were few and far between. The living room is for family things, not me hogging the TV to revisit my Mega Drive favourites. "Daughter, would you like to watch me play Desert Strike for an hour? Hey...... where are you going?" The big TV is for Netflix. It's for my daughter playing Pokemon Violet. It's for terrible Japanese variety shows that no one is watching, yet seem to be perpetually-on in the background. And then once everyone else has gone to bed, it's for Series X and PS5. It's not for retro games. Upstairs is for retro games. So I hooked up my Mega Sg to the monitor in the spare room, alongside my beloved Saturn and my record player - my shrine to all things retro. Material things that make me far happier than they should. I'd intended to play old favourites Road Ras
