Mega Man Watch

You can now buy a mega man gaming watch from the same company that makes the atari watch 'My Play Watch'. 

This is the official mega man gaming watch page : My Play watch| Mega Man gaming watch.

Mega man was a popular side scrolling game at the end of the '80s and early '90s. It features all sorts of enemies and boss fights and there are different types of mega man to chose from. 

The functionality of game play is reduced slightly because the of size of the watch and lack of controls but it is very much a mega man watch. 

Clamshell Pocket Retro Computer Games

The company Hyper mega tech, a part of Blaise entertainment has released 2 classic portable handheld games consoles. 

They both come with 25 games each, all of them have 8 bit graphics although some of them were made recently as a homebrew indy project. They also both have a clam shell design and fit in your pocket. 

I found this Scottish guy that tried out all the games and gave a verdict , he goes by the YouTube alias 'Crazy Burger and gave a very comprehensive review of all the games : Pocket C64 , ZX Spectrum. 

These new systems won't take the vercade cartridges but they have a large folding screen and have 25 games preloaded. 

Fluid Thoughts

Your Brain is surrounded by spinal fluid, a fluid that is mostly made of water. The Brain floats in this fluid and is surrounded by it so there is reduced pressure on the base of the brain.  The fluid surrounds the brain and the spine and helps to absorb shocks and to 

Your Brain is also 70% water. 

Your thoughts and emotions emerge from water because your brain is mostly water and it is surrounded by water. 

Europe's Biggest Amusement Park

The Largest Amusement Park in Europe is located in Russia and is Called Kudikina Gora and it about 500 hectares.

 Alton Towers in Britain is second place but is crammed with rides and attractions. Disneyland is not even on the top ten list; that because a large part of the park is a resort the actual amusement park area is only 50 hectares. 

You could say Kudykina Gora has a lot of potential because it is so much bigger than the other amusement parks. 

LegoLand windsor

Before Legoland windsor opened in 1996, the site was a large safari park called 'Windsor Safari Park'

 The site was filled with many wild animals and visitors could drive amongst the animals in their cars. The brow of the hill would have given visitors a panoramic view of all the different animals. 

There was even a dolphin show held at the park. Amazing to think. 

There are many theories to why the original Safi park closed down. Some people think the whole park was on the side of a hill and it irritated the visitors. Other people think the cost of keeping wild animals increased. 

The bottom line is the visitor numbers dropped and at some point at the beginning  of the '90s, the park stopped making a profit. 

City Via Assassination

Southend on sea, a seaside town in Essex England was promoted to a city because of an assassination; let me explain. 

The local politician for the area, David Amess campaigned for many years to change the status of Southend on sea from a town to a city. On 15 of October 2021 he was assassinated by a Islamist terrorist because he voted for air strikes against Isis. 

Out of pity for his death, the Leadership cabinet, MP Boris Johnson and the Queen of England agreed to change the status of Southend on Sea to a city even though the population was less than half a million. 

A year later the Queen's Son, prince Charles (now King Charles the 3rd) went to Southend to declare Southend on sea a city. The status of the city changing hinged on his death. If he didn't die, they wouldn't carry out his wishes, there were places with a bigger population like Reading that still remained with a town to this day. 

Early 3D Game

You won't think there was a 3d game available on the Atari 2600, but there was. In 1983 CBS electronics released a first person dungeon crawler game called Tunnel runner. 

The game pushed the 1970's hardware of the Atari to its limits. It featured a maze inhabited with monsters. The goal of the game is to get out of the maze and avoid  the monsters. 

In my opinion it is the most graphically advanced 3D game on the console. Very few people were aware the game existed because it didn't have an established marketing network like other games providers. They even tried to add some shading to give some depth to the game. 

When you were confronted by a monster, it felt like it was a part of the game terrain and was animated.
