My 1MB DLS connection has been installed and have spent the night uploading every NES rom ever released as well as a collection of Japaneese Rom's. I just now need to write the page for displaying them and the NES section will be complete. Come back in the next 2-3 days for the lovely roms.

Next to come are additions to both the 2600 and 5200 roms sections as well as possible an Atari and NES game manuals section.

I have updated the menu and navigation menus for the Rom's and Emulators sections. This will allow user to find the stuff faster. I am awaiting the 1Meg connection and as soon as it is installed I will be uploading all 900 NES roms.

The Old Computer Dot Com has been featured in the June 2002 Edition of Esquire mens magazine. The images used in the article named 'Blast From The Past' on pages 95 to 100 were taken largely from this site. Many thanks to Esquire for their interest in all things retro. Visit their website here www.esquire.co.uk. The collection may also be featured in a BBC series in October this year called 'Born In The 70's' if all goes well.

Sorry for the pause in updating the website, I have been very busy with my work in the past months. The Website was featured in the June 2002 edition of Esquire Magazine www.esquire.co.uk, they used the images in the Retro Gaming article. More exciting than that is the up comming TV program that will feature my collection of computers. The program was filimed on 5th May and will show sometime in October this year on BBC3. I have pictures of the film crew and my collection which I will post on here soon.

I am also getting a 1MB broadband connection installed soon which will allow me to upload the NES rom's, all 300MB of them. Until then I will keep updates to a minumum.

Later ... HT.
