Hi, I'm Matt.
I work at The United Distributing Company (UDC) in London. We sell arcade games, including some new and refurbished video games, hence my name on here 'Matt-UDC'.
I'm a life long arcade video game and computer video game fan. Years ago I used to code stuff and do game and demo graphics in the 8bit and 16bit era.
These days I'm in the less glamorous world of working with games rather than playing them as much as I'd like to.
I get involved in restoring game artwork and making replacements, or designing something new. I'm also involved in designing and adapting new games for the UK market, although less of these are video games these days.
Over the past few months I've visited a few retro-arcades to play games for real along with the atmosphere of yesterday.
I'm here to have a good look around and see what's going on in the community and get back some of the enthusiasm and fun and maybe find a home for some of the old bits and pieces we have knocking around in dusty boxes and buried in the warehouses.
