Hello, my name is Rees – from ctrl.alt.rees – and I’m a vintage computing and retro gaming enthusiast and electronics tinkerer from the UK. My interests are predominantly Atari stuff, 90s PC gaming (particularly early 3D) and electronics projects, but anything retro/tech is cool with me!

You may know me from my vintage computing and retro gaming YouTube channel – and you can also follow me on my website, Instagram, or Twitter!

My first gaming experience was at the tender age of 5, playing Keystone Kapers and Frogger on my cousin’s Atari 2600. From that fateful Christmas Day onward I was hooked, and moved on to the Atari ST with a brief detour via the Acorn Electron (until it exploded). We got our first PC – a 486 DX2/66 – in 1994, and I rediscovered retro and my love for all things Atari in the early 2000s when I finally got the chance to own my dream childhood console, the Jaguar.

I think it’s safe to say that I was an odd child.

I now have a pretty extensive collection of Atari computers and consoles as well as a few other interesting machines, with particular favourites being an upgraded IBM 5150 (the original MS-DOS PC) and a rare Japanese Atari 2800 as well as some very rare prototypes.

Homebrew with the Sega Virtua Processor on the Sega Genesis

I was interested to come across this video by MatteusBeus – AKA Matthew Bennion – whose channel covers game development on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. In it he provides an excellent overview of the ongoing work of both Richard Kaussler and Javier de Silóniz Sandino (known in the community as Javi) towards reverse […]
