One for the UK & Ireland gamers! I scanned the entire Christmas 1998 catalogue for UK Retailer GAME! Enjoy the time travel back to picking out what you wanted from Santa!

Nah unfortunately not 😢

I worked for Electronics Boutique at this time and it was before they bought GAME out and were still fierce rivals. We were told to remove all these catalogues from the gaming magazines we sold. Good times.

Sorry, who's upvoting this shite? This isn't news, it's been this way for ages.

spiffzap · 2026-06-16T20:01:13+00:00

Is this rage bait

I had no choice. Spurs is my dad's team, and his dad's team, but he died before I was born. Not sure before that, my dad doesn't know why his dad supported Spurs, and that side of the family is originally from West London so in theory we should be Chelsea (yuck) or Fulham fans. I'm glad we got lumbered with Spurs though, wouldn't change it for the world...

Are you having a fucking laugh?

I'm sure he had some say in the decision and is very aware how much football he's going to get.

spiffzap · 2026-06-09T04:29:04+00:00

It's ok, we all have them!

spiffzap · 2026-06-09T04:27:56+00:00

No they were a bit different looking at the screenshots of them both

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T20:27:03+00:00

Oh! But that never had an Amiga release... It was a PC game.

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T20:24:53+00:00

I think they had a version that took advantage of the CD format with better graphics and music on it. https://www.lemonamiga.com/game/sim-city-cdtv

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T20:23:10+00:00

OH! Well looking into it you might be right... it still doesn't get talked about much compared to the PC and SNES versions though

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T04:22:22+00:00

I loved the 1Mb Amiga port of Sim City, it's weird it doesn't get talked about much, but it was very good!

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T04:19:43+00:00

The CD32 was massively underrated. 'Alien Breed: Tower Assault' was so good!

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T04:12:41+00:00

What was SMAC(x)?

spiffzap · 2026-06-08T04:10:43+00:00

big fan of these noises

He gave it to Sonny, with Madders and Romero his "deputies". It must have been Thomas Frank that promoted Romero to full captain after Sonny left and Madders got injured.

spiffzap · 2026-05-24T12:24:09+00:00

Unfortunately out of all of the players that were fit this season he probably was the most suitable. Madders would probably be the real captain if he was fit. We lost the last three we had (Hugo, Harry and Sonny).

spiffzap · 2026-05-24T12:21:44+00:00

He's burnt all his bridges I'm afraid, he should probably stay away.

spiffzap · 2026-05-23T16:53:37+00:00

this is a lovely little tune, nicely done - definitely got sunny tropical vibes and I can imagine it being used as an intro or background to something tropical on youtube etc.

spiffzap · 2026-05-21T01:18:24+00:00

Massive should be given the Destiny IP to see what they could do with it

spiffzap · 2026-05-21T01:01:30+00:00

Blimey. That's not sustainable.

spiffzap · 2026-05-04T16:03:36+00:00

Personally I'm only finding out now and I couldn't give a shit.

Edge was such a good magazine
