Pins! Lots and lots of pins! Even if you are not into video gaming related enamel pins, you have to admit, these are quite cool. Ah, if only I had kept my Atari Lynx club badge.
These gaming related promotional pins are definitely becoming harder to find and are starting to demand the big bucks. If you have some in your possession, wear them proudly!

Any time I hear or see the word “Cops”, I want to break out into Inner Circle’s “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you, bad boys, bad boys”. Too bad I haven’t got the Jamaican accent down pat.
Ah, I have digressed. Speaking of cops, have you ever wondered what The Legend Of Zelda would be like if it had a patrolling policeman? No? Well, if it did, Dorkly shows us how it would play out.

I thought the first rule of Fight Club was that you did not talk about Fight Club! I am breaking that rule here – what if Fight Club was retold in 8-bit pixelated glory? Wonder no more people. Well, actually, it’s more like 16-bit, but that is beside the point.

I honestly thought that we were done and dusted with the whole Flappy Bird thing. We already had our fun with Flappy3D-VR on the Oculus Rift. Seems like the little bird has a bit of fight in it yet!
Drum roll please, I now present to you – the 8-bit version of Flappy Bird for the Commodore 64! I must admit, the game does suit the 8-bit system quite well – mmmm, all those lovely sprites. Download it now and have a go. I’ll get my TAC-2 joystick ready!
