Since the start of the year, I've been working on several projects. One of those projects is currently sitting on the back of a boat, due to dock in Melbourne on Friday! In fact, it's on this boat, the Safmarine Meru:

According to the Customs agent, I should take delivery in about a week's time. So, what's in the box?

Chartbusting 80s - 7th Aug. 2003For about 12 years, up until a few years ago I was working as a volunteer in the RMIT TV Studio. Working as a member of RMITV with programs going to air on Melbourne's Channel 31.

During my time there I took a few photos and have just started uploading them to my Flickr page. I've uploaded a little more than 700 photos so far and can be viewed HERE

I have quite a few more to upload and will do that over time - I think in total there's about 4,000 photos!

What was under your Christmas tree in 1977 - That hand knitted sweater from grandma? A tub of Slime? Orthello? or how about a skateboard? Or did you get an Atari Video Computer System?? In 1977 I was 6 - I don't remember what I got that Christmas but I do know it wasn't a 2600.... That I had to buy myself many years later.

Released in October 1977, the Atari VCS (renamed to Atari 2600 after the release of the 5200), went on to sell 30,000,000 units world-wide. Although released a year after the Fairchild Channel F, it marked the start of the home video game revolution and kept kids glued to the telly ever since.

Back in the 80's, in a time long before the DSi and PSP, gamers who wanted to entertain themselves while in the back of mum & dad's car were restricted to playing just one game! Yes, that's right - JUST ONE GAME!!! I know that may seem just completely outside the realms of sensibility, but it's true. And to prove it, here's one of those games...

Tronica - Power Boat Racing - MG-231
