  • Love these write ups. I lived through the platform wars fighting on the side of Light (Spectrum) against the hordes of darkness (C64) and the one grey teary Amstrad user.

    Loved Bomb Jack, it’s a great game and I think it’s going into the curriculum for the kids next week to show them a great game with a simple game dynamic compared to them playing tosh on Roblox all of the time.

    I remember playing the arcade on a ferry to France as part of a school trip. Best part of the trip was this cab.

    Thanks for the memories.








  • Bit late to this party but R-Type was one of favourites at the arcades and back when ther were so many outstanding games.

    I occasionally get my kids to try them and despite the fact the controls are so much easier they can’t play them, the games are too hard!!!

    I feel the same way about their games or at least the controls, I feel like I need to learn to be a court stenographer to use the controls using multiple combos to do something. Pah I say!








  • MASH was an interesting one. It was originally broadcast in the UK without the laugh track and it was so much better.

    When it was eventually released on DVD here, there was an option to play it with or without the laugh track.

    I was only a youngling when the series finished and I sobbed like a girl when it finished.
