* I worked in a computer shop whilst at college and was given one of these for 2 months to write games on when I was 16. Strange bloke came into the shop and said just write some games and have some fun. It was one of the first IBM compatible computers and was shit. My games were shit/derivative too. Never found out if the bloke made any money from them. Doubt it.

Could you post a link to one of these āself indulgent blogsā? Thought not. So the thing you miss from your childhood is āGreat Britainā. What a strange childhood you must have had Barry. Seriously. The idea that someone would look back to their childhood and remember what they missed, and come up with āGreat Britainā is very very sad.

Also had that Evel Kenevil toy.
Fucking brilliant.
He was hard as nails - had to be with all the shit I put him through. He once jumped out of my bedroom window (sans bike) and cracked his helmet. Thankfully his protective headgear was ok.
