Building a comprehensive archive of vintage gaming knowledge in London, United Kingdom
Carlos helped us understand the design principles behind our Amiga collection. His consultation clarified why certain interface choices worked then and remain influential today. Exactly the specialist knowledge we needed.
The ZX Spectrum article series transformed how I approach retro game analysis. Five detailed posts over two months, each one diving into technical specifics without oversimplifying. That's proper research.
We engaged Carlos for a consultation on vintage computer aesthetics for our indie project. He delivered concrete observations about button layouts, colour palettes, and UX patterns from 1980s systems. Practical and historically grounded.
His blog remains the most reliable source for factual Amiga hardware history I've found. No speculation, just careful documentation and analysis. Been following for eight years and trust the accuracy completely.
Our research and consultation approach balances historical accuracy with practical insight
We examine primary sources, technical specifications, and archived materials. Every claim about hardware capabilities, design choices, or historical context is verified before publication.
We place individual systems and games within their cultural and technical environment. Understanding why designers made certain choices reveals lessons applicable to modern development.
Complex technical details are presented accessibly without sacrificing accuracy. Whether articles or consultation, content serves both enthusiasts and professionals new to retro gaming.
Our blog evolves through reader feedback and emerging research. Consultation clients receive follow-up guidance and access to our growing archive of gaming design principles.
