Censorship, Firings and Addiction - The Rise and Fall of Microsoft Solitaire | Kim Justice
A look back at one of the most controversial games of all-time...Microsoft Solitaire. People in government tried to ban it. Many a person got fired from their job over it, and it started the whole conversation about computer addiction. Not bad for a little card game created by a summer intern. Enjoy!
The Return of the Backyard Wrestling Video!
Hey y'all. I thought I'd finally put this back up for you - the vid all about those Backyard Wrestling PS2 games, complete with schlocky videos and the Insane Clown Posse -- alas it's time on YouTube was somewhat shortlived. I'll eventually try and put a sanitised version of it back up, I guess -- but h...
A Licensed Game Based on...Weetabix? | Kim Justice
A quick look and lil' review of Weetabix Versus The Titchies, a microcomputer licensed game featuring the Weetabix gang. Check it out if you know what's good for you.
The return of Requests and Games on YOUR Doorstep
Hey y'all! I have a quick little update for you...a few months ago I decided to stop a couple of this Patreon's popular tiers -- the review request tier, and the Speccy game every month tier. I don't really want to go into why -- I kinda felt I had to do it at the time...but, things are better now, I've...
The Story and Games of Matthew Smith | Kim Justice
Finally, a big look at one of the UK's greatest and most enigmatic coders -- the man behind Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy...it's the story of Matthew Smith. Not the most uplifting of stories perhaps, but it's certainly a wild ride. Enjoy!
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Review | Another Terrible Spectrum Licensed Game | Kim Justice
Tynesoft, those strange folk responsible for Super Gran, get a license for a show based largely around Geordies abroad. It should be a slam dunk, but instead they manage to create a game so bloody awful, it makes Super Gran look good.
SNOOKER 19 Review | A Modern Snooker Game That's Worth Playing? | Kim Justice
It's a lil' review of Snooker 19! The first actual licensed snooker game in...well, a long time. I enjoyed it when I played it at Rezzed, but now I've got a copy for myself it's time to see if it's actually worth playing proper. Enjoy!
THE STORY OF ELITE: A Space Opera - Kim Justice
Finally, here it is - the story of how Elite became the most influential British game ever, and a look at its creators. It's been a while in the making. Hope you enjoy it :)
EGX Rezzed 2019: Big Indie Game Round-Up | Kim Justice
A look at all I played at this year's EGX Rezzed! There's around 22 indie games reviewed in mini-form here, a couple of interviews, an awesome bag and many more. Enjoy!
Is The Legend of Zelda Still Worth Playing Today? - Kim Justice
Up one whole week early for Patrons, here's my latest...and as you can see, it's on quite an obscure subject. I really got an urge to educate myself and play through the original Legend of Zelda recently, and I decided to record it and share my thoughts. This might seem like a question with an obvious answer, b...
Fun at the Cambridge Computer Museum Retro Video Game Night! - Kim Justice
A couple of weeks ago I went off to Cambridge for another Retro Video Game Night and bought my camera with me. So, here's another load of stuff I filmed, complete with closer looks at some of the really cool stuff they have there and some good laughs with Quang and Bex (Nostalgia Nerd and Octy were there too but I ...
ICP, TRASHY TAPES AND PS2 GAMES: HOW DID BACKYARD WRESTLING BECOME A CRAZE? | Kim Justice
So I've wanted to look at these two PS2 Backyard Wrestling games for a while, but I kind of also wanted to look at why they even exist in the first place. So here's a look at not just them, but the whole Backyard Wrestling craze of the late 90's-early 2000's, featuring clowns from Detroit, people hurtin...
EUGENE EVANS, IMAGINE AND THE BIRTH OF THE BEDROOM CODER DREAM | Kim Justice
Just how did the image of the "bedroom coder" get started? The truth is a little more engineered and PR-driven than you think. This video examines the story of Eugene Evans and his brief period of fame as Imagine's 16-year old programming wunderkind who earned 35k a year, under the careful eye of a certain ...
Patreon Q&A Submission Thread for February
Hey y'all! Please use this thread to submit questions for this month's Patreon Q&A. I shall likely be filming it sometime late next week :)-Kim
THE STORY BEHIND CRAZYBUS, ITS FAME AND ITS SEQUEL | Kim Justice
A new video! Fresh out the oven, ready for release next Monday. Yes, it's CrazyBus. That PD Sega game with the horrid music that many folk have raged at over the years...but I kinda wanted to look into this bit of gaming weirdness further, and in doing so found some fun stuff to share. So enjoy!
Soph's Uncut Highlander rant
Sophia REALLY doesn't like Highlander.
The Awful Highlander Game and the Tragedy of Canvas Software | Kim Justice
NEW Video time! And this one...well, it was kinda supposed to be a light affair. It didn't quite turn out that way. A look into a popular legend about a game being purposefully made bad turns into a rather dark story about the consequences of failure in the 80's computer games industry. Enjoy!
The Return of the Kim Justice Patreon Q&A! | January 2019
FINALLY! We are back in business with the ol' Patreon Q&As, and this was a really good one. Thanks to Iain Roberts, Scott E Spencer, Cropply Crab, Freakish Uproar, Hedders, daisy_blonde87, Stephen Sharp and Daggorath Dungeon Keeper for their awesome questions. Look for February's thread in a couple of days!Ta v...
What am I working on?
Hey folks! Just wanted to quickly update you on what I'm doing...Jan is usually a quiet month but I do have something cool - my top 100! Oh yes. And no, this idea isn't just imitating Dan! ANYWAY, working on it has at least allowed me to chill and play some favourites - a good vid for a quiet month. It'll p...
The glorious return of the monthly Q&A - Submit your questions!
It's been a while, folks. But now, at long last, the monthly Q&A is ready to return! Please submit your questions here and they shall be answered in a video released at the end of the month. Please feel free to ask absolutely anything you like.
Merry Christmas!!!
Hi everyone!Just wanted to come at you all with a quick Christmas message :) thanks to all of you for supporting me over the past year, or for however long you've been here - it genuinely means a massive amount of me, especially as it has in many ways been quite a tricky 12 months with all sorts of issues and probl...
SUPER GRAN: From Baffling TV Show to the Worst Licensed Game
It's the last video of the year! And to finish off, we have a look at Super Gran. The show itself was certainly weird enough to warrant a video, but Tynesoft then had to go and produce a licensed game that frankly, is the worst ever made. No contest.
'80S ACTION LICENSED GAMES: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE WEIRD | Kim Justice
It's Christmas, the best time to watch '80s action movies. Here's some licensed games to go with the fun that you may not know! From odd takes on festive classics like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon to Aliens, Last Action Hero and Robocop 2, there's a whole range of games here. Enjoy!
The Life and Games of Joffa Smith, ZX Spectrum Genius | Kim Justice
The big new video of the month is here! A celebration of the life and games of the amazing one-off that was Jonathan M. "Joffa" Smith, the Speccy's most wonderful and outstanding programmer. And quite possibly artist too. Enjoy!
#ThankYouPatrons
I wish I had something more special lined up for this! Patreon have officially dubbed this the day for the #ThankYouPatrons hashtag to be plastered all over social media. Corny as that may be, one thing is pretty certain - Patreon has been an absolute godsend to myself as a creator, and without it there's no way on...
Weekly Update Post! 18/11/2018
Hello all! Right, even if I'm not exactly the best at doing things on a regular basis when I say I'm going to (hi, Discord folks! Sorry, Discord folks! I will hang out with you a lot more when I have more time in my evenings) I am going to start doing this as a way of keeping all of you updated with what's ...

Here in this audio-only interview, he joined me to chat about his memories of Jonat...

Uncut Interview: Sarahsgamecollection and Retro Princess
A quick chat about Pac-Man, arcades and press events with Sarahsgamecollection and Retro Princess, two very nice YouTubers who should most definitely be following.
Pacman Quarter Arcades Launch: The Ins and Outs of Press Events
Last Wednesday I was invited to that London for another little event to launch Numskull Designs' Pacman Quarter Arcade - a pretty cool machine that I'll be showcasing on the channel soon in depth. For now, here's a look at the event plus a little bit of fun, going through some of the cool things about these...
