A pathetic attempt at satire...
Yes, I did create all those front pages myself - can't you tell? :lol:

It was by Powerhouse I think. It got unfairly shredded in Zzap though, to be sure. I thought it was great for a first attempt, and the guy who made it should have been encouraged. From what I can find out, he didn't stay in the industry. I spent a lot of time on it as a kid (it's hard as balls - only ever got to stage two... out of about twenty!) It's worth getting just for the music though.

To counter Playfire's rather woeful top 100, I've decided to do my own top 100, which DOES cover from the Spectrum era up to now, with part 1: 100 to 91

Well, you might just like part 2, then :wink: Yes, I know MW 2 is there, but it's given a better position: in the 80s, and NOT in the top bloody ten!
