Retronaut
Exploring retro Computers, Consoles, tech and games from the 1970s to the early 2000s.
My name is Chris Thomas. My life has been a journey through an amazing evolution in computing. Firstly as a consumer of the new games consoles and micro-computers in the 1970s and 80s. To working in various branches of computer based media production, from PC video games, to visualisation and movie VFX.
I want to share my experiences and passion for computing with you. And explore the range of wonderful retro computers, consoles and software that made the modern world the fun place it is to be today.
