Deplorable price scaling for Metronome 2.

Tape Loading Error Sim has me sore from laughing.

What happens in the Kate Bush skiing when she gets to the bottom of that hill? Does she walk back up?

This is glorious. Its almost indistinguishable from real software ads in magazines back in the 80s. And back then a "best-selling" game might sell 10,000 copies, and be considered a success, compared to millions of sales that gams get today.

Do you have their number? I reckon I could get half of them done by Christmas

I think someone has actually built 'Space hitler 2' in real life...

I would certainly pay 15 quid for a George Harrison emulator if it could convert my ropey guitar playing into something a bit more Harrison-esque.

yeah written by diff people so had none of the gameplay of original

Didn’t get any further than the latest release in the long running Roland series before creasing.

Pink Floyd The Final Cut text adventure was a work of art. No idea what the hell was going on but for £99 in the 80s it meant something profound I'm sure. A musical meaning of life from interactive fiction Also if you played the game tape backwards the load bleeps did 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road'.

Price jokes are the best jokes. Ask Katie.

..Darts Manager got me.

Biscuit Database -would buy, the price and the ubiquitous “2000” is genius :)

It is quite a lot of doe.

I tried to resist, but thought “what the hell”

Tremendous.

Extra bonus points for ZX81 music simulator and ‘Codsall’ nicheness.

I want to play Threads The Text Adventure and its sequel

Pre Order #118 An appropriate pre-Movember reminder…

I've been meaning to count the jokes in it actually and not got round to it. There's 81 official jokes, that is formal ones with set up lines and punchlines, but there's also bonus jokes like, well, I'm not going to list them, but details in illustrations or absurdities in the outro.

This is true

That it did 😔

Those Kate Bush games go for a fortune on eBay now.

The worst game I ever bought was a Donkey Kong ripoff from an ad just like this. All my teenage money on an unplayable game :(

Dirty Ceefax would have been a winner.

I presume this has already been done "And that was the last one from John Noakes' Fractal Bath in session tonight"

Top work, but you missed out Bobby Bearing oh wait that was real

So what prefect that I know that Lung Lung Lung would have been a lame space invaders clone

Yeah, if there's a corner to cram a joke in, cram a joke in, was my little game on this absolutely insane rubiks cube of jokes joke.
