Our very old April fools joke, long before the Next @specnext.com & Retro Games Ltd’s The Spectrum. Did it inspire either of those projects? No but we had a lot of with this one at the time (2012). #zxspectrum #AprilFoolsDay #retrogaming

40 years ago, Your Sinclair released its 3rd issue. Back in 2011, @deanswain.bsky.social was inspired by the Your Sinclair logo on this cover when he created the @theretroasylum.bsky.social podcast logo. So for fun, here is our homage to that issue. #retrogaming #zxspectrum

What an amazing night! Thanks to everyone who attended our little meet up in Bury Manchester. 7 out of the 8 hosts of @theretroasylum.bsky.social podcast all in one room at the same time. #retrogaming #podcast

In our latest podcast Jim, Dean, Mark & Chris delve into the SEGA SG-1000, a system that didn’t reach the shores of the UK or the States and had the misfortune of being released on the same day as the Nintendo Famicom in Japan. traffic.libsyn.com/retroasylum/... #sega #retrogaming

Did you ever have the misfortune of using a Sinclair SJS-1 joystick? The poor kid staring in this extremely dull 1987 promo for Enduro Racer did. #sinclair #zxspectrum #joystick #sega #arcade

The Tomy Omnibot that @deanswain.bsky.social is working on, is starting to show signs of life… #omnibot #robot #tomy #1980’s #vintage #retro

Our resident Cockney has gone and bought a little project for him to tinker with over the next few months. Do you remember the Tomy Omnibot from 1984? youtu.be/MX5EFSLgvBI?... #VintageToys #tomyomnibot #omnibot #robot

More Atari Lynx love, this time in the form of Xybots, the only released console conversion of the Atari coin op that started life as a sequel to Gauntlet. #atarilynx #atari #arcade #xybots

Over the Christmas period we often find ourselves revisiting the classic handheld consoles. Today we played Pacland on the Atari Lynx. Our unit has a BennVenn screen fitted in it. #atarilynx #retrogaming

The best Christmas card that we received this year was from our good friend Laurence Bennion of www.blacklighter.co.uk who makes the brilliant UV overlays for the Vectrex. You can checkout his Facebook page at facebook.com/laurence.ben... Merry Christmas Laurence! #vectrex #retrogaming

The RA team assemble along with Gordon King from the RGDS podcast, wave their white flags into the air to declare a ceasefire and instead spread happiness and cheer during the festive season. traffic.libsyn.com/retroasylum/... #retrogaming #christmas2025 #secretsanta

In 1989 the BBC interviewed kids at the ECTS show for a documentary about video game addiction. One of those kids was our very own @deanswain.bsky.social Can you spot him in this clip? #retrogaming #addiction #bbc

It’s all for charity mate! Midnight Brew Games is donating their full #zxspectrum digital catalogue to the Movember Charity for the rest of the year. Plus a further 16 games have been added, making a total of 64 great ZX indie games for £16. ko-fi.com/s/1bbc65e2e2

Protector is a 2003 Vectrex release by Alex Herbert and it is a very nice Defender clone. Just like Defender, it takes a while to get used to the control system (or we might just be a bit rubbish at it) however there’s no doubt that it’s a great game! #vectrex #retrogaming

You can’t beat the nostalgic noise of a few arcades running at the same time. #arcade #retrogaming #ambiance
