I recently posted about my Bamboozle Generator, and how nothing new had been added to it in years.
That changed today...there are now wizards (and there will be more!)

#OnThisDay 1990 : A major storm known as the Burns Day Storm had progressed through the UK.
Impacts of this storm were greater than the Great Storm of 1987 because the storm hit UK during daytime hours.
Images show the effects from the day before.

If you wanted to create a Bamboozle quiz with questions about the museum itself...
Made this as a beta, didn't add anything new for at least two years, so decided to stop calling it a beta...
But if you can make head or tail of it, you're more than welcome!

This tool takes in plain-text template files in the MRG Systems TTI format, and allows you to generate a collection of TTI files to form a quiz which can be uploaded to your own Teletext service.

Fancy seeing what was in the top 10 music charts #OnThisDay back in 1997 in which Blur was number 1 with Beetlebum, George Michael was Older at 3 and Blueboy asked if you Remember Me at 9.

OUR NEMESIS! Actually, that's just for comic effect. We still see Bamber and say hello to him, usually at the clinic and then at the pharmacy later that day. We never shake his hand though, due to health reasons.

You asked for it many times, it's finally here.
You can now switch TV channels between BBC1 and Channel 4, the latter of which will now let you play Bamboozle!

Fancy seeing the top 10 budget games from January 1987?
Ignoring the obvious error at the top about the games being over £4 but a shout out to 180, I loved playing that darts game. Still do now nearly 40 years on!
