So which of this month's games are you enjoying? Bubble In Trouble is a clever little game. Telethugs is fun too, gives me a Robocop 2 vibe. Paulo always delivers great work. I'd love a proper game in the style of the original Robocop though. It seems Zosya were working on one: is.gd/nnE1wM

40 years ago, CRASH featured this cool cover to promote its review round-up of all the latest Speccy sports games. Which basically celebrated the sheer wealth of new sports games and showed the scene was absolutely not on its last legs as the cover suggested! Early "clickbait!"😁

The Covertape wars. Great for kids (like myself) on a limited budget, but the death knell for the actual software market.

It's the final video of 2024! It ISN'T Christmas themed! It is about a little known (outside of the UK) 8 bit micro, however! youtu.be/5CYKWcB58Cw

A great Covertape, spoilt only by the fact that you didn't get any real instructions on how to use GAC properly.
