Heh - I'm sure the graphics weren't that bad..

I got in a lot of trouble with some kids' mum for selling them this game back in the day, I can still feel the white heat of embarrassment of being shouted at in public.
Pretty tame by today's standards though!

Re: Spectrum memes
My local newsagent usually had Your Sinclair on the middle shelf along with all the other Spectrum mags, but this Vixen issue had been moved up a shelf, not top but the next one down. Strutting to the counter, flipping through it to make sure the poster was in there, I thought(hoping) it was to be huge A2 in size, but turned out to be a double pager.DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 11:33 amI got in a lot of trouble with some kids' mum for selling them this game back in the day, I can still feel the white heat of embarrassment of being shouted at in public.

Heh - if it got returned did you check the box to make sure the poster hadn't been removed...?DouglasReynholm wrote: ↑Tue May 26, 2020 11:33 am

I don't get it—gators are entirely sensible for extreme outdoor conditions...

Re: Spectrum memes
S'funny, I was just thinking about this recently. Though "Quality Graphics" is maybe a bit of a stretch, unless prefaced with "Occasional".
I'd replace it with "Cover Art". And "Posters". Especially "Game Over Posters".

Heh - though I'm surprised you didn't change it to say "No problem, Fred.."

This game's as difficult as running on stilettos through the jungle. You've been warned, Bro.
