The 50p and packet of Rolos must have got lost in the post.

I think a game like Thanatos would normally have more votes, but Durell had some strong entries that have probably bumped it out of some people's top 3 (mine certainly).

Used to love reading the SU articles.

Also still a proud owner of this

Great games..!

1. Scuba Dive
2. Turbo Esprit
3. Combat Lynx

Thanatos & Harrier Attack battling it out for a close 4th.

I know that one but I'll leave it to someone else instead of hogging all the answers

Morkin is on a roll...

Still don't have a screen to run with, so anyone can jump in.

Cop out

Another point to Morkin

Anyone feel free to jump in

Ooh - Batty?

Anyone know if the shop is still there?

We didn't think it was possible, but maybe... life found a way.

1. Commando
2. Ghosts 'n' Goblins
3. Marauder

Close 4th place for Gilligan's Gold

No idea. I'm completely stumped.

sorry

Yeah, despite the cool on-tape printing and box art, personally for collection purposes I'd personally prefer owning the original tapes (they're not exactly hard to get). The pin badges look cool, and you can never have enough Speccy-themed mugs :dance. Mind you, I'd probably expect to find this sor...

World Series Baseball has a bunch of different adverts on the big screen at various points. I could've sworn I saw a Coke or Pepsi add up there, but may have imagined it. https://i.imgur.com/iGO9bxU.png I'm not sure how prevalent WH Smith was in the States in the 80s, or whether you'd be likely to ...

That Wonka Experience feels pretty much like I felt after going to Cadbury World with my kids in about 2010. Okay, it's nowhere near as bad as that, but it's probably the most disappointing day out I've ever had. I/we had been wanting to go for years and I wasn't expecting Willy Wonka's Chocolate F...

I'd seen the Wonka meme (it's new but has popped up a few places) but I didn't know who Tiertex were...

Had a go this evening (emulator), managed to finish. Got a bit lucky on the Warehouse as I'd forgotten the route. :dance :dance https://i.imgur.com/Y2lvAou.png Continued through to the Warehouse before dying, final score of 64369 (I think). - I still lose lives regularly on the Warehouse and Solar P...

...There's more than one screen of psycho analysis y'know. It doesn't load all those Character Array: blocks for nothing.

1. Finders Keepers
2. Knight Tyme 128
3. Stormbringer 128

I loved Finders Keepers, but found Spellbound a bit too hard. Just kept dying of lethargy, hunger, or something else.

Never played Fourth Protocol, feel like I should read the book first.

Has anyone made a 'definitely not Bonkers' joke yet?

Haha... If I said I was sorry I'd be lying

Seriously, someone else can take my go

Whichever one Lee goes for, I'm calling dibs on the other

That's strange - I was sure that someone had disassembled Cyclone in the past, but I can't find a reference to it anywhere. I must have imagined it.

I thought Battlecars was pretty good. There are Crash Smashes that I'd consider worse than it even. It is, of course, a very niche game being an adaptation of a tabletop board/dice game that ideally needs two players, and not exactly the most intuitive thing to pick up and play. Also, Julian Gollop...

I think it'd be:
