  1. A volte mi vengono in mente dei giochi o degli oggetti che hanno segnato la mia infanzia.
    Questi oggetti suscitano in me ricordi meravigliosi e, pertanto, quando accade di ricordarlo, faccio di tutto per recuperarli e portarli a casa, perché vederli è un toccasana.
    Questo è l'ultimo esempio.

  2. A Thing Called Packri Monster (Take 2)
    Sometimes Wordpress is infuriating.

    What I remember doing is working hard on a post proclaiming to the world the existence of a weird offshoot of the Pac-Man universe called Packri Monster. I wrote it, and I saved it (I believe) so it would be posted on the morning of January 16th.

    Well, I just

  3. "How a 1980s toy robot arm inspired modern robotics

    The tasks taken on by the Armatron aren’t so different from the ones AI is tackling today."

  4. I didn't find a great deal of things at the recent toy fair, but one stall had this bag they were selling for £10, which I negotiated down to £8. Inside were Pokémon stickers, cards, Tazos, and Battle Discs. This thread will show the specific contents!

  5. Quick update on my challenge to reach one million steps with Pocket Pikachu!

    Yesterday I reached the 125k milestone, about to head out for another walk and climb ever closer...

  6. #SpeedRacer, known in Japan as Mach Go Go Go (マッハGoGoGo, Mahha Gō Gō Gō), is a #PlayStation game based on the television show of the same name. It was released by the company #Jaleco (#Tomy in Japan) in 1996, though it did not appear in North America until March 27, 1998. It met with overwhelmingly negative reviews which cited simplistic and outdated gameplay and graphics.

  7. A generous donation from a work colleague; a really nice boxed "Thunderin' Turbo" from the #TomyTronic3D range. "The sound isn't working, though..." - this turned out to be a very simple fix, as the speaker connection had de-soldered itself.

    Always may favourite of the TomyTronics, a simple but addictive racing game, still very playable today.

    All fixed, up and running, and in better condition than the one I already owned... it's a win!

  8. Who remembers these mini Pokémon playsets? They were made in 1997 by Tomy, and several were released during this era.

    I bought one recently and it arrived yesterday, this one is based on Pinkan Island from the Orange Islands, with a Psyduck and a pink Rhyhorn.

    The horn on Rhyhorn's head is broken, but otherwise the set looks and feels in good shape! There's a button you can press at the bottom that pushes a bus forward, and sends a Pokémon flying. It all folds up to carry away.

  9. For those of you who saw my video about the old 80s toys - Tomy Spinjas/Battlers - this video covers the mystery sockets that nobody seemed to know the purpose of. Well, that mystery is now solved, and I explain all about it in this quick follow-up video on my RetroSpectives YT channel.

  10. #silicium Collection : #Tomy Barcode Battler de 1991
    Pensez-vous que le célèbre fabricant de jouets va sortir une version à base de #qrcode ?

  11. At the weekend I picked up some of these classic Tomy Pokémon figures (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Vaporeon), which I believe were released in 1998/1999. I never owned any of these, but I know they were very popular back in the day!

  12. The previous incumbent in the place we occupy now had some kind of coin-op business. Found these boxes in the eaves of the garage. Tomy Gacha capsules of DC Comic characters. All sealed but I opened and assembled this one. No idea what to do with them all. #DCComics #Gacha #Superman #Figurines #models #comics #DC #Toys #Tomy
