Guys, your qualifying group is the *literal embodiment* of that McGlashan sketch from Absolutely.
“And here’s England’s group! England! Lapland! Melchester Rovers! Me and my Mum!”

Looking a bit rough these days, but I still have my Y-2 Prince Henry Vauxhall in the box.
My one is dated 1973 though, so an earlier production run.

I just finished Dick Tracy on the Speccy so you don’t have to. The game is so bad that when you beat it, it literally stops working and you have to reset your Speccy.
Obviously the programmer knew perfectly well the utter shite they were spewing out.
Titus, eh?

I’m chasing a hearse in this level apparently.
Chase HQ is terrible, but I’m going to give it 73% because I’m terrified Ocean will pull their advertising from the mag if I give it a crap score.

The graphics are atrocious. Honestly, why couldn’t they just use most of the assets from the original game?
Your car sprite looks like a bourbon biscuit, and the other cars are made up of about seven pixels each.
And HOLY SHIT the music!

I don’t believe I’ve ever really given this one a serious go before. Let’s see what it’s really like…

Er, so are they recommending that I vacuum-seal my cat?

Good grief. The people who programmed this game clearly had no actual idea how football works.
I don’t think they had any idea how computer games work either, to be honest.

Retro Friends! Remember, we may all be getting alarmingly old and decrepit, but just look at what you can do with your ever-expanding collection of old prescription bottles!

Anyone care to guess which little fat bastard managed to sneak downstairs and eat half the dog’s food when no one was looking?

Why do I do this to myself? I managed to get to level 4. It doesn’t get any better.

Okay, the current setup has more leads than Crufts, but at least it works!

Well now, the mystery deepens further. Looks like I may have an elementary school pack of this Grolier/Mindflight software. The index at the back shows a TON more titles that I don’t have in my binder. Many of these seem to be programs aimed at high school kids.

I have NEVER tried to load these up (in fact, I’ve barely taken more than one or two disks out of the binder). There are 15 disks in total, and either my internet searching is rubbish or there’s basically no information online about these at all.

Okay retro computing folks. I picked this up years ago and have never had any success in finding info about it.
Grolier/Mindflight software for the C64. Unmarked binder, complete with manual and disks.
Only info I can find online is for Apple II, but these are C64 versions.

Shelves are built! This is the initial setup right now after I basically threw stuff into available spaces to see how things look.
I’m sure this will change about a hundred times before I’m finally happy.
