Hello!
Firstly, apologies for low output on Patreon here lately. I’ve been concentrating on the website while also trying to keep the wolf from the door with articles for TechRadar and Tom’s Guide
As things stand, once CES 2026 is out of the way, I’m going to have a lot of time to devote to Gaming Retro, both the website and this Patreon.
Become a member!Ahead of that, I’m about to start sharing (later today) a collection of unboxing videos of the G’AIME Time Crisis gun and console. These are basically B roll material from the review video I’m producing for the bundle.
I don’t want to say too much early on, but I can tell you that the guns are surprisingly hefty, and certainly don’t feel cheap.
So look out for those clips dropping.
It’s Christmas!
You will not have failed to notice that it is Christmas. So, I’m hoping that some of the pre New Year time off will give the opportunity to finish off at least one of my other projects (the Raspberry Pi 5 case and the PSU repair of the BBC Micro).
Whatever happens between now and then, I’ll be delivering more via Patreon in 2026, as well as giving you the Gaming Retro podcast first.
Thanks for supporting the site. Growth since the January 2025 relaunch has been far quicker than expected, and that is in part to you guys.
Have a great Christmas, and a brilliant New Year.
Cheers,
Christian
