I was immersed in ancient games this week for Stuff, reviewing the Evercade Alpha and The Spectrum. The common theme? I liked both of these gadgets a lot more than I expected to. Both delivered a neat blast of nostalgia and immediacy, while recognising that people like to load additional games on to gaming devices.

Elsewhere, RIP your wallet, due to my updating the best enormous Lego kits to buy. And Apple announced it will soon set fire to thousands of iCloud backups. So my column for Stuff warns: Don’t rely on cloud backups, because iCloud and Google won’t keep your stuff forever.

I also wrote a quick post about the dismal current state of app review on iOS when it comes to emulation. 

Upcoming stuff

The end of the year is blazing towards us all. Which means… retrospectives. Lots and lots of retrospectives. 2024 was a weird year in lots of ways. It’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out when I review it in terms of Apple and tech.
