Tom's SEGA Master System Collection

Join Tom as he shares his collection of SEGA Master System games. The SEGA Master System was Tom's very first games console and some of these titles are positively dripping in nostalgia for him.

He once vowed to not add to his humble childhood collection, however in recent years his curiosity to see what else the Master System had to offer got the better of him and he eventually amassed a reasonable collection of 'mostly' Master System classics.

Tom's PS Vita Collection

The PS Vita never really hit its stride, it had lots of potential and some great games but Sony decided to move on and thus the PS Vita remains a curious system, that at one point in time was the most powerful, fully featured handheld games console on the planet.

Now it's a fondly thought of piece of gaming history, that Tom occasionally likes to revisit. Join him as he takes us through his humble PS Vita collection.
