Playing Tetris on the BBC Microcomputer.
Using the BeebEm emulator for PC.

-----------------------------------------------


Rich Retro Tech is dedicated to retro technology.
Born in 1969 I grew up with the Commodore Pet being the first computer I was exposed to in the classroom. Moving to secondary school in the UK it was the BBC Micro that took over.
My first computer I had as a child which was all my own was the zx81 courtesy of "Father Christmas".
That spurred on my love of all things computing. I moved onto the commodore 64 when it was released which I purchased myself.
For gaming consoles we had a sega megadrive. For a short period a sega master system.
I worked for Tandy in the late 80's and had a chance to play with other systems including the snes, commodore cd32 and more. From then I moved onto my first PC - a 286 build all of my own!


The inspiration for my you tube channel comes from various sources. Firstly, my own children, who grew up using tablet computers and who were uploading their own videos from about the age of 5.
Secondly all the you tube channels that have fed my love of retro computing and enabled me to explore systems that I didn't get a chance to use when I was younger.

Through emulation I'm now able to play the games and on systems that I had as a child and in later years but also systems I was aware of but never really had a chance to play on either because I had no access to them
or just because some pesky friend hogged the game!
