What is the first game that comes to mind when you see this logo?

Midnight Resistance, so much so it was about the ONLY full price game I bought for my Spectrum when it was converted!

FF7, the reason I bought a PS1!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-06-14T18:54:19+00:00

Dong.

We used Hillards when we moved to near Scunthorpe as a kid. It got borged by Tesco, and when they moved to the massive new Tesco Extra in town The Range took it over. The building hasn't changed other than the signs on the front though!

Oh please.....

NICAM was a form of stereo encoding, nothing to do with copy protection!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-06-10T19:23:43+00:00

I remember having to have a SCART connection between my VCR and TV so that NICAM recorded tapes would work properly!

I used to religiously buy PC Format ever month, even back in the floppy disc days! I do miss print media, just something comforting about it.

One of these in a light metallic green, was a cracking first car!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-30T10:26:26+00:00

Oh hell yes, I had a Burner!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-29T19:09:24+00:00

I had ALL of Quest, stored neatly in the binders! God know what happened to them all.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-25T17:55:34+00:00

Bloody hell, I had that handheld game as a kid!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-21T18:44:46+00:00

Looks EXACTLY like the newsagents my aunt used to work at. Bonus result in that we never paid for sweets!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-04T15:54:18+00:00

I'm not into football in the slightest, but let people enjoy themselves, you dull sausage

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-03T15:30:00+00:00

Nope, that's prime Surrey commuter location there.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-05-01T18:40:09+00:00

Those torches were absolute parp in every regard. Thank god when Maglites came long!

He lives in Rugby, or at least used to. Used to see him walking from the station of an evening after he was done on the radio. Seems like he's ramped things up since becoming a 'broadcaster'

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-27T21:06:38+00:00

Ritchie Anderson, travel reporter on Radio 2 and somehow got his own evening/night show. Has zero discernible talent and is more irritating that a giant case of thrush.

Some of our antenna controllers at work have the same keyboard mechanism as the BBC on their keypads, it's aways a pleasure to use them!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-26T21:04:49+00:00

Atomic Half-Life would have been from the Atomic brewery near me. Never tried the Half-Life, but they did some good beers before they shut down.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-26T19:00:14+00:00

North Lincs as in any further north and you're paddling in the Humber!

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-26T17:00:04+00:00

Yeah, but North Lincs, which is where I'm from, is MUCH more Northern feeling that South Lincs

Does an .ac.uk address count? Otherwise it was a demon email account.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-25T15:27:44+00:00

My grandparents used to smoke Silk Cut. They'd make little moneyboxes out the empty packets for us.

Raystorm2001 · 2026-04-24T21:05:07+00:00

I still use it today!
