James Bond 50 Years of Movie Posters (Book Preview)

A preview of this superb new book of 50 years worth of James Bond movie posters. (there's a version of this massive book at amazon if you order the upcoming 'Bond 50' blu ray boxset in the USA. But I would expect it to be much smaller in size.)

ISBN-13: 978-1405356800
UK Product Dimensions: 35.8 x 26.2 x 4.4 cm
Dorling Kindersley (release date Sept 03 2012)

The song is off course the superb 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney & Wings I have another great Bond poster book that you can check out via the link below, but this is by far the one to get. It really is superb! (and goes up as far as the soon to be released Skyfall). And even if you already have other poster books on Bond? Still make room on your shelf for this one.

A massive selection of the books (over 350 I think in this video) I own from 1975 till today (24th June 2012). Not all books I own are in this video because I was unable to get some out of storage. I will make a follow-up video in the future though. A lot of the books in this video I've had since the 70s/80s. If any of these books catch your eye and you're thinking of ordering any? Let me know.. Or do you have a few of the books from my video that you love? Do you have a fave art book that your treasure? Let me know in the comments. Enjoy and thanks for watching..

Super - Shut Up, Crime! - Mediabook Edition (+ DVD) [Blu-ray]

Sorry for the crap camera work on this. I spent 10 mins talking about the movie then decided to just speed up the video at the last min and remove me talking a load of crap... That 99% of people will skip anyway :D (I do that on other peoples videos, so I feel your pain lol)

Anyway... Speeding up the video kinda left it a bit jumpy.. Ah well! What can you do? Do it over? :P Naaaaa!

Superb release though. Not perfect... But damn fine, and wipes the floor with the UK blu. Pity the extras on disc 2 are DVD only :/ Oh well. You can't have everything!

Amiga 500 - Game Collection (Part 2) Come relive some 80s and early 90s Game Heaven

This is what's left of my Amiga 500 collection (original collection from my late childhood, early adulthood). I had sold a lot of my Amstrad games in the late 80s to raise cash for an Atari ST. By the time I had the money to buy, that I wanted an Amiga instead.

The Amiga 500 were great gaming days. There's a lot of games I have that are not in this video. Some faves like It Came From The Desert, or Syndicate are Pirates of the Caribbean ;D

A good 95% of the games I had were legit though... All these games are still in mint condtion, boxed with full instructions and boy did they give instructions back then haha... HUGE thick books:P (and anti piracy stuff like the crazy Robocop 3 chip.. Oh and the game was better than that movie ;D)

I loved point and click adventures, so I had a lot of those.

This cost me £399 (I paid for this myself as I had a job at the time, it was one of the first thing I got myself. And as I said, I sold a lot of Amstrad games)
It has the extra 512k expansion and an extra disc drive (12 discs on some games like Monkey Island 2:P) making it up to 1 meg *you had to have 1 meg for a lot of games like WINGS*

Amazing system and worth every penny. It's gave me, my family and friends many years of enjoyment and has been brought out of storage to do this video. I had gave my sister it and all the games years ago. But once she started her family, she gave me it back and I just put it in a box for over a decade.. As you can see! Like my Amstrad CPC 464 in part 1 of this series of videos, this still works.

Hope you enjoyed sharing in the nostalgia with me.

See you soon with more games and systems.

Amstrad CPC 464 Game Collection (Part 1) Come relive some 80s Game Heaven

This is what's left of my Amstrad CPC 464 Game Collection (original collection from my childhood). I sold a lot of these games in the late 80s to raise money for an Atari ST but still had a lot left. In the end I went for the Amiga 500 instead (video for that next)

Notice my Amstrad still works? They don't make things built to last like that anymore. Take that Xbox 360! (I've had 7 of those to date:P). There's been thousands of hours played on this by my whole family and friends back in the day. I think I got this when I was 10 or 11. (I'm 37 now) Green screen because it was £100 less at the time and tape because it was cheaper also (the floppy version failed to take off anyway). All my friends had all the other 8 bit computers (Speccy, C64, Atari 800Xl...) so I played games on them all as a kid.

I hope you enjoyed looking through these again with me. They sure bring back a lot of good memories for me of being a kid in the 80s. See you soon with some gaming action from the early 90s. Let the good times roll! AMIGA 500 BABY! Bring it!

I wish I had not sold games like Last Ninja 2 as well as countless others. But that money raised did go towards an other era of classic game heaven.

I can't say I miss the days of entering pokes though for game cheats :P Hours and they failed to work at times :P.. If nothing else it got me typing lightning fast :D.

Loved text adventures! Kentillia was the first one I played! Lord of the Rings had the worst tape loading in the history of games though :P

The music is from the superb Saboteur 2, Aliens (Electric Dreams version although I have the US Gold version as well) and Knight Tyme.

I filmed this video about a year ago but have only got around to uploading it. Lots more coming... Through the years of Video Games to the present day!

Enjoy the nostalgia! Feel free to comment! I would love to hear about your 8 bit memories and your fave 8bit games on whatever 8 bit system you had!

Thumb up this video please! Because lets be honest? 8 bit old school 80s games rocked so hard!
