IMPORTANT !
OK Guys I never ask you for anything but I am going to now. I am looking for a complete or as close as possible collection of Sega Dreamcast Rom images. I need this for a possible new project. If anyone out there can send me on DVD or indeed share for download I would be very greatful. I also need SNES and N64 images if possible.

Just email me here when you are ready. Thanks HT.

The orginial Apple Macintosh commercial that aired only one time (during the 1984 super bowl). The world's most expensive ad and only ever aired once.

This was provided by Sam Baxter and is worh a look. It is still surprisingly fresh looking, very cool.

I found this website by accident and am glad I did. Check out this guys work and tell me the C64 did'nt influence all modern dance, techno and break beats.

In particular check out the Ghetto Blaster for a cool selection of break beats.

OK as promosed I have been spending a little time adding content to the website and I mean a LOT of content. Just opened is the new Commodore Plus/4 library. This section contains no less that 2450 roms for the Plus/4 and C16. Or are available for download as per normal.

Comming soon is a 600+ Plus4 disk library.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I have had the time to work at the website, so I decided to try and add a little content. I just want to say a big thank you to all those visitors that have sent in material in the form of ROM images, Artwork and positive comments. Thanks for your continued support and I hope I can repay the effort by adding to the website content. So if you have sent in material please be patient and I will eventully upload it all.

I have just added sections A,B,C and D to the NES ROM game covers.

The Classic Computers of the Past Calendar is a 12 month 2005 wall calendar packed with popular computers from the late 70's and 80's.

The computer images are neatly layed out on each page and include full specifications, a brief overview of the machine, its history and any interesting facts.

It's a perfect gift for any computer enthusiast or anyone who remembers those classic computers of the past...

I think this deserves your attention so go click on the picture and buy yours now.

This is not an offer from TOC and I am not receiving commission, I just think it is cool.

Grapevine magazine needs no intorduction to any Amiga users out there. Enough to say that the link on the left will take you there and then they will take you back in time.

Excellent resouce.

I have had the great pleasure of reviewing this excellent book on the history of Retro Computing. Published by ILEX it boasts 192 pages and 400 full colour pictures taken recently. Content is factual and accurate. Click on the book to read about the full details.

I have to say that this book is now the topic of much conversation for friends when they visit the house. This is a must for every coffie table.

It has become impossible for me to continue to runthe clothing shop, instead I bring you these excellent quality, vcool and totally RETRO t-shirts. Check them out and please remember, if ya buy one you will help me pay for this monster of a site.

Thanks in advance.

here, now, by the way I just used up another 200MB of webspace so you guys are going to need to dig deep and come up with some funds if at all possible. In the meantime I will continue to add content at an alarming speed for 1 guy.

I hope you enjoy these ...... HT.

Six new commercials have been added to the Retro Commercials section. There are now a total of 31 old TV commercials making this the largest single collection on the web.

Another massive section has been added. Welcome to the Game Manuals section. A collection of TXT and HTM files created by users for the older Atari games. Now at long last you will have some game instructions for the Roms. You can get to this section through the updated libraries Section or direct to the Game Manuals Section.

Added a good selection of BIOS and Util roms for the Colecovision and ColecoAdam. They will be very usefull for the emulators.

Please read the website Disclaimer before downloading.

OK this is a big step. This website is offering the following Amiga Kickstart images for direct download. Kickstartv1.3, v1.4, v3.0 and also the A1000 Bootstrap rom. These images have previously been unavailable to the majority of Amiga emulator users, so here they are. Please read the website Disclaimer before downloading.

I have uploaded another new commercial by Atari in the 1980's. Vanguard was a cool game and loved by many. Check out the guys shirt. Very nice hair by the way.

I have also started to use the Website Logos that have been sent in in various areas of the site, check out the various section to see if your banner is being used.

Many thanks to all those that are sending in donations, this money is very much appreciated as I am having to pay for 2004 website provision. Please continue to donate what you can and remember to check out the DONATIONS PAGE to see your name in the list.

Many thanks go to all the people who have contributed to the website logo competition, please check it out for the newest additions to the competition.

In June 1991, a LSD released an intro sized magazine called Grapevine. It wasn't anything special, just like a dozen other message boxes that were floating around.
Who would have thought that from crap start, a phenomenon would start.

Relive all these great mag's from the Amiga scene and visit the site. I had every edition of the magazine and was an avid follower.
