Retro Guy
I am just a tech enthusiast and a big fan of the 80’s and the 90’s. Maybe because most of the fun I had was during that decade: My first computer (an old Sinclair Spectrum), all the video games and arcades, the great music and colourful (and strange) clothing, the amazing movies, the access to BBSs and the rudimentary Internet using a 9600 bps modem… How not to love the 80’s?
I created this channel (and a blog) to share tips on vintage computer restoration, projects and – of course – gaming. I will be creating posts and videos, and publishing them all here.
