I'm Nostalgia Nerd... I have an addiction to Nostalgia & things often categorised as "nerdy". I talk about software, hardware, games, toys, programs, magazines and other things from the 70s, 80s and 90s, sometimes with a liberal amount of dry humour. The channel's main focus is computer related items from the 80s & 90s.

Feel free to visit my website, other social accounts listed below.

Happy Halloween!

I've been working furiously on a video for this wondrous holiday, however, I've had to delay it due to an entire can of worms it opened, and the subsequent research required to see it through.

However, just like delaying a game is better than releasing it in an unfinished state (usually), the same is hopefully true here.

In the mean time, you may have missed this video I made earlier this year, digging deeper into the Berzerk arcade deaths. It's got the right vibe for Halloween and uncovers some very interesting details at the end.

Until we next speak, toodle-pip!

Hey folks! So YouTube has absolutely buried my latest video about the Trojan Room Coffee Pot. If you weren't notified, or it hasn't popped up in your feed, I'd appreciate you taking a look!
This one took a lot of time and effort, and tbh, I'm pretty proud of it, so it saddens me that it's not getting the view time.

Here's the link! https://youtu.be/IOqlDsfTC6g

Much love, Pete x

Recently one of the agencies who organises my sponsors went bust, owing me quite a bit of money. So, my solution is to attempt to sell some of my most prized goods!

These auctions end on Monday. So, Happy bidding!

Thank you soooooo much everyone! With less than 24 hours to go, Barcadia is fully funded! We've had support from all over the place, from locals, to retro gamers, friends, family and some amazing sponsors. It means an incredible amount to us that you all believe in Barcadia as much as we do! ๐ŸŽ‰

Creating a hub in Norwich that gets these games back out in the open, that spreads this joy to a wide audience, that creates jobs, that facilitates community events, that rejuvenates and that turns an old worn out building into something fantastic is driving us to make this place the best we possibly can. We really hope you'll love it. ๐Ÿ˜

Until then, let's see how the final stretch pans out! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Thank you again โ™ฅ

New video! In case you missed it; I dive into the shady world of Pinball machines, and how they were taken over by a seedy underbelly of crime. Check it out!

Hey folks. I don't tend to post many of those CRAZY vertical videos on here, BUT, I do tend to on Instagram. I've put up a few reels recently exploring various computer museums. So if you're into that, please check out www.instagram.com/nostalgianerd/

It includes this hot af Holborn system from the Home Computer Museum ๐Ÿ‘€

If you folks have been following my social media, you'll likely know about an arcade venue I'm looking to open up soon, along with some fellow collaborators. I'll post a video update soon, but if you'd like to follow the venture that will be known as Barcadia, please sign up for the Kickstarter pre-launch at www.kickstarter.com/projects/nostalgianerd/barcadiโ€ฆ
