PLAY Expo Blackpool & an epic MVS pick up October 2021

In this video me and my trusty sidekicks go on a road trip to Blackpool for the awesome PLAY Expo event.  It was three years since our last visit to PLAY at the Norbreck Castle and was great to be back, enjoying some semblance of normality.   

Along the way we stop to see an old Arcade Operator and pick up an awesome MVS haul.  I hadn’t seen any pictures prior to this, and the haul massively exceeded my expectations, I was so happy.  I’m currently going for a full MVS set and this fills many gaps as well as giving me lots of upgrades. 


Hopefully there will be many more road trips and arcade visits next year.  Have a great Christmas and Happy New Year!

A Great British Retro Hunt: On The Trail Of Banksy’s Spraycation

During the summer, artworks started appearing in towns on the east coast of England in Norfolk and Suffolk.  After much excitement and speculation, these were confirmed as the work of Banksy, the world’s most famous street artist and became known as his ‘Great British Spraycation.’  In this video we take a trip to see them.  We also check out a video game shop and a few arcades along the way, including an arcade with some of the oldest machines still in operation here in the UK.  Join me and my two trusty sidekicks on a Great British retro hunt!
