Yes indeed, all of the fireworks outside last night and that bottle of cheap wine you consumed were nothing to do with the “new years day” rubbish, instead they were to celebrate the launch of this very website Retro Tat – your premier source for all things… erm, retro and indeed tat. What that entails can range considerably from downloads or compilations of classic games as well as remakes or re-imaginings of the same for current and previous generation machines, LCD screened games either given away as promotional items or sold on market stalls, at car boot sales and pound shops (or their equivalents) and direct to TV hardware, either officially licensed or “borrowing” from the 8- and 16-bit era.

It can also include whatever distractions grab my attention and drag it down a dark alleyway, the occasional article or indeed rant as topics present themselves, news items like this that serve very little true purpose and of course some pwitty pictures of assorted bits of Retro Tat. Welcome one and all to my humble abode, make yourselves comfortable, feel free to use the facilities such as the RSS feed and please try to leave quietly to avoid waking the neighbours!
