Things I didn't think would ever happen in my lifetime:

Footage of me playing the Geoff Capes Strongman on the Spectrum, is featured in a documentary on Channel 5 about the life and times of Geoff Capes.

I have only played the most frustrating parts of this game because my wife and kids hand me the pad for the bits they can’t do.

10/10 game, no notes 😃

My thoughts on #Turrican feat. @caneandrinse.com Ep 699.

I didn’t grow up with Amiga, C64, ZX Spectrum or TG-16. Most of the platforms this released on.

Confusing game, I hope the sequels have improved game design. I wanted to like this game. I just didn’t.

Loved hearing the crew’s thoughts.

My thoughts on Sin and Punishment as read out @caneandrinse.com #698

I was a Nintendo kid, then PlayStation teen, so I didn’t grow up on Treasure games since most of those were on Sega consoles.

For some reason my brain couldn’t get past the controls. Good game though.
