I made a walkthrough video of Matchboxes here, and it's even in 4K! :D

I did also try Broken Karaoke, but couldn't even work out the first song, and hoped they were random, but nope..

Perhaps a bit simple for the £2.50 price tag, but these are pretty charming, with an oldschool mail order feel to them.

I made a strange discovery on Wingo - on level 7, "BOTTY" makes it return to BASIC (so does POTTY or anything OTTY for that matter)! I checked if it was a curse word filter, and it's not - it allows farrr worse.

Oddly, at the time I downloaded it, there was no price on it, but I see both that (and Wingo, now available) are £2.50 each. Matchboxes is just Pelmanism, and neither look worth the price as they're simple BASIC games.

Meanwhile, I've played other games which are free, but would've been worth some pennies, and yes, I know that option is still there on those.
