RetroGameTech

Hello! My name is Martin. I'm a Scottish retro gamer who likes to restore and tinker with old and new consoles. I'm a massive SEGA fan and love the Dreamcast, Mega Drive, 32X and Nomad. I also like to make videos and take photos. This blog is where I hope to post some of the gaming related pics I've taken. Stop and say hello if you get a spare moment :)

I spy with my little fisheye... my modified clear case yellow Dreamcast. Otherwise known as the heavenly DC.

This is the second of two 8-Bit pixel plants I made recently. This one is the Pea Shooter Plant from the Popcap game Plants Vs Zombies. The pot is from a local hardware store, the soil is actually packing foam and the plants itself is made from Hama/Perler beads.

I'm trying to collect every PAL Nokia N-Gage game ever released (sealed CIB). These are some of the unsealed games/doubles from my collection.

This is a picture I took a few years ago of my modified original Xbox. This is the normally green jewel you see on the top of the console. I cleared mine using Brasso and back lit it with a blue cold cathode. Shiny! :)

This is the Sega Dreamcast camera peripheral also known as the Dreameye. It works as either a webcam for video chat or as a standalone digital camera to take with you wherever you go. I managed to get this one off ebay boxed and complete for pretty cheap.

Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast is probably in my top 10 favourite games of all time. I'm such a big fan (geek) that I own every version of the game. This is a photo I took of the Japanese manual. The Japanese version has the best cover art and manual by a long shot!

My Sega Master System, Control Pad and Light Phaser. 8-Bits of awesome! :)

Messing around with my phone again. This is the Helghast helmet/head thingy from the Killzone 3 limited edition.

I was sorting through my Dreamcast VMU collection and snapped this quick pic using my phone (Android ZTE Blade). I can't remember the camera app I used but the effect was labelled as Japanese (I think).

These are just some retro/gaming beer coasters I created using Hama beads. The companion cube is probably my favourite so far. The Creeper was my own idea and the Space invader on left glows in the dark. I'm always looking for new ideas for these.
