Tudor pickled onion crisps were stellar, as were the smokey bacon.
The TV ads were great too…

Ooh, cheers for the heads up there! Of course, Outlook managed to conveniently send Microsoft’s email to my junk folder. Just downgraded my subscription to Premium for now, while I evaluate if even that’s worth bothering with.

Yep. The trailer referring to the original game as a “classic” is just a tiny bit optimistic as well.

I’ve regularly been found in the darker corners of my basement muttering things like “Where’s that box of C64’s?” “I’m sure that 486 motherboard is around here somewhere!” and “Bloody hell, where did I put that VCS?!”

Does that have an effect on value these days? If I was buying Speccy games I don’t think I’d really care whether the game actually loaded or not, seeing as there are far easier and more convenient ways of loading them into a machine nowadays.

Ooh, some nice ones there. Centipod and Darius+ have got to be fairly uncommon.
