My Favourite Waste Of Time

Have you ever played with a 'floppy' ?

Games that would be used as promotions to new product development. This game sucked balls.

OUTRUN

We would plough 10 pennies after pennies. The winner would stay on until the credit was gone. 'Billy' would bail to his house, waiting for me to arrive with a cuppa waiting.. usually with an egg at the bottom or 'sweetened' with SALT.

Nintendo - Now You're Playing With POWER

This adaption has long been disposed of, so any merch that still brands the adapted 'hero' title will make bank.

Grand Theft Auto. An American criminal charge, aka Taken Without Owners Consent in the UK. T.W.O.C. became a trend during the late 80s and throughout the early 90s. A game the UK tried to ban due to its promotion of car theft. The storyline became so much more. Dealing, kidnapping, 'ram-raids' , sabotage and espionage. Making it to the top just got criminal.

Although gaming graphics had just gone 'real'. This game took the most basic, aerial view approach. It was the FMV that had you gripped. You had a sense of importance. Covert and at the front line to search, destroy, and rescue.

I spent many hours, days, weeks, building up my car collection, and then modding my favourite vehicle to race against my friends. Storing my game on an 8mb storage card so I could slot into my mates playstation, anytime, anywhere.

I remember how frustrating this game would get. Searching for an exit from one cave to another. Indiana Jones with TITS. The most iconic Female Fatale of her time. Epic Saga.

Playing alongside my best friend,'DON' . Gone but never forgotten. 1976-2001

Games don't hit like this. A saga that no other could come close to.

My first favourite game. Addicted 👾
