A rare subbuteo related song, from the band who brought us "The Len Ganley Stance". (I think from the album "Back in the DHSS")
I pleaded with my dad to get me the 48k version of the speccy so I could play flight sim which you could only get on the 48k if memory serves me right .........Elite ,Manic Miner , Wheelie ,Jet Pac ......now they were games that ooze gameplay lol
Wow! Half Man Half Biscuit! Memories... I cracked my chin being bounced off the stage at one of their gigs... God... must have been over 20 years ago.

another program to pass the time. It is interesting to see that 30 years on, some things never change.

I watched that a few weeks ago, and yeah, the more things change the more they stay the same.
On a related note, this interview with Imagine wunderkind, Eugene Evans, is pretty interesting too.
Best thing that happened to me as a kid was getting work experience for 2 weeks at Ocean Software in Manchester..........I saw how they put the games together and got pretty friendy with some of the coders at the time .By the end of the 2 weeks I had games by the bag load in a goodie bag walking out with a big cheesy grin on my face
Seen this on YouTube a while back. It is a good watch and very interesting. Looks like Ian Bell & David met at a D&D game
It would have been more apt if they had been playing Traveller. (Lets see who gets that one then)

Interestingly, the example character in Traveller's character generation chapter was... Jameson. Coincidence? I think not.
I played a lot of Traveller with my mates back in the day
Here's one to check how old you lot are .....did anyone play PSI-5 Trading Company
I see what you did there.
I actually had to re-read the original quote there before I got that!
it's not my speccy memory that was going, its the grey matter between my ears .........Damn I need to buy Alpha to start behaving like a real man
Yes, but only briefly. It looked great, I chose somebody with psychopathic tendencies as my weapons officer, I remember that. But it was a multi-loader cassette on my C64 which made things trickier.
Is there any other character to man your guns to do a better job ?......hell if we could choose a gunman in ED Ourselves id have Rorschach from Watchmen lol
