My new blog documents my attempts to collect a set of Mastertronic budget games for the Commodore 64.

http://mastertronic64.blogspot.co.uk

To make things a bit more interesting I've decided that as I accumulate the games I will try to maintain an average game price of no more than £1.99 :D

Each game will be reviewed on my YouTube channel to see if it was worth the asking price back in the day. There are already a number of reviews up on the site so please check it out and feel free to share your own memories of Mastertronic games!

Created a hubpage blog in addition to my main website, experimenting with different ways of engaging with retro gamers worldwide.

First blog is on the history of Donkey Kong

http://rolyretro.hubpages.com/hub/The-Donkey-Kong-Story-History-of-an-Arcade-Legend

Interesting to see if this identifies new gamers for my site.

Cheers
