Saw this yesterday. It’s weirdly impressive that their grievance politics has seeped down to this, almost molecular, level of detail.

I wonder what happened to Olympic Computers? They were, IIRC, 386sx models except there was no actual Intel chip in it.

Whenever P asks me what if there’s anything I’d really like as a gift my mind drifts in this direction, but Is never do any work again.

Yes, my aim was to show that games progressed over a number of years and I kept feeding in 10p pieces the whole way, from shark attack onwards. 1983/4 was pretty much the end of the line once Dragon’s Lair started demanding real money for 15 seconds of play. Then I met this guy in pupillage …

There was a penny drop machine on the pier, but like the crane machines they were there for tourists to throw money away not for people wanting to play Star Wars in a cabinet with a proper seat like proper legends. We had PETs at school but the first game I played was on a Ti-57 calculator.

It’s very odd thinking. If you’ve managed to persuade people that the GOP is responsible, caving sends a very clear message that you could have brought it to an end earlier by caving sooner. It’s like turning on a blame magnet.
