BIG Friday follow success! Retro madness.

On Friday the 30th March The Games Shed hit a big milestone... 500 followers on Twitter!!



As per tradition we lined up #ff and went hell for leather on the tweets and ReTweets including one tweet early doors showing how happy we were!!


A short while after we showed our intent and hit you lovely lot up with the big one that would prove to get us what we craved! :)



This was the tweet that set everyone off on a retweeting frenzy gaining us over 50 followers in 2 hours. Insert Coin Clothing were kind enough to help us out with a £10 off voucher that proved to be very popular.

When we hit 500 Jamies response showed just how happy he was!


500 followers, time to get cracking with the competition and heres how it went down!!


As you can see from above  was the quickest off the mark and came straight back with the correct answer to the question. He even included the time!! :)

Thanks to everyone else who took part in the competition including  who was about 30 seconds off.

Big thanks has to go out to  Insert Coin Clothing  (Follow ) for sorting us out with a sweet prize for 

The only thing left to do now is decide which item of clothing to go for.. Heres a selection of our favourites from the site..

Space Dynamics

Inspired by Star Fox 64 (1997)

If you want to take a trip around the Lylat System, then there's only one ride for you - the Arwing from Space Dynamics.
With sleek angular styling, it's perfect - whether you're popping to another sector or taking down an evil supervillain. Show your allegiance to space-faring woodland creatures with this retro design.


Castle Town Ocarina Supplies

Inspired by Zelda: OoT (1998)

Looking to learn an instrument? Why not consider the ocarina? It's small, portable and can help you cross dimensions.
And if you ever need any urgent repairs or spares, then head down to Castle Town - it's Hyrule's number one place for woodwind instruments. Show your musical side with this slick design.


Klobb Submachine Gun

Inspired by Goldeneye (1997)

If you're in a sticky situation what's the first weapon you'd want at your side?
We're guessing, for those who sank hours into Bond's classic N64 adventure, a couple of Klobbs would go a long way to getting you out of trouble. Share your love of games and guns with this slick t-shirt.


Red Shell Garage

Inspired by Mario Kart (1992)

If you're racing around in a flimsy go-kart while people are trying to push you off the road, you want to make sure you're armed.
To the teeth. And so it's best to pop in and see the guys at Red Shell. They'll give you all you need to win any race... and with this tee on you'll do it in style!


Eggman Industries

Inspired by Sonic (1991)

Do you prefer the darker side of life? Do you like catching and weaponising fluffy animals? Then Eggman Industries wants you!
Dr Eggman might be a wrong 'un, but he certainly knows how do get his evil schemes going - creating crazy bots from harmless woodland critters. This design shows he has killer style too.


Zakhaev International Airport

Inspired by Call of Duty: MW2 (2009)

Airports can be a nightmare can't they? Check-in, passport control and the biggest controversy in videogame history.
No matter how you tackled 'No Russian', this is the perfect souvenir of one of the most memorable missions in any game. Make a statement and dress to kill with this hoodie.








Hope that little lot gives you an idea of what Insert Coin Clothing are up to and how their clothing line is a very subtle take on most of our childhoods.
