Where are you watching it? I had ep1 and thought it was good, but couldn’t find the rest.

I don’t know what the failure rate is on Amiga disks, but I expect it’s not brilliant on ones treated well.

Result!

Did it take long to lick that one clean?

Worthy of a thread of it’s own.

No interest whatsoever from my parents. I don't think my dad ever really approved of video games (or rock music, or sci-fi, or anything else I was interested in as a kid).

One that I don't think has been mentioned yet is Starship Troopers. It might not be everyone's idea of a classic, but I went in knowing very little about it, and came out and felt exhausted. Great stuff.

I think I saw Star Wars, but can’t be sure as I’d only have been 5 or 6 at the time. It’s something my grandad would have taken me to see, but he’s no longer with us so I can’t ask him and nobody else can remember.

Yep, genuinely tense as anything I can remember. The only downside is having to wait a week for each episode now, as we’ve got used to running through tv shows quite quickly.

I hadn’t realised commodore PSUs were that risky to use these days. I’m used to electronics failing to dead rather than producing out of spec voltages.

Erm, yes?

We did three or four then gave up. I just didn’t enjoy it and couldn’t really say why.

We watched the last Ep last night and enjoyed it. Not as good or funny as Futurama, but far better than the Simpsons has been for ages.

Erm.... ok. Seems a little odd but I’ll keep an eye out.

I’ve watched it three times now. Goosebumps.
