True in some cases sure, but the Jaguar Duo was already shown at game shows in the 90s so we know what it would have looked like.

Great work, but poor colour choices of trousers v bg!

Sorry to say i had nothing but bad memories of my machine, recording issues and issues playing back the recordings, felt like the tech wasn’t quite ready for consumer use at that time, wasn’t bloody cheap either!

Those MS adverts were always so eye-catching

Commodore did two things right with the Amiga, the first was to buy the company, the second was to change the RAM to 512k for European launch (and soon after for the US)

The old screengrabber for the NES diluted the colours!

001

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Looks much better than the original C64 version, which was pants tbh!

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Exactly, far from the worst possible time!

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Alarming if true, will not attact new buyers if budget players not available...

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Tbf it sounded like it was targeted at the mid range PCW market, but under cutting Amstrad prices which were around £500. But without a brand name i doubt it would have made a dent.

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

A bit clickbait tbh…says temporary

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

A good reminder that life moves on without people filming and documenting everything!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Used to love looking at the adverts in your mags, PCE GT £265 wowza! Whats that £600 in todays money? I did pick one up boxed around 2001-2 before the retro boom kicked in….the LT was still £500 back then!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I only got 2 G&W i remember thinking they were really expensive when they came out, electronic gaming in the 80s was never thought of as cheap!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Much different now, back then PS2 and then PS3 were the cheapest routes into DVD and then Blu-ray, this changed with UHD, esp now with console price rises, players £180+ compared to £400+ console prices

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Oh for sure would still look better but the same problem will happen with films shot on digital in 4/8k in the future, where as digital scanning tech has massively improved, they need to be looking more at 70mm film stock or similar for better future resolutions and not stuck on todays digital tech

110

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Would love Moulin Rouge but think was shot on 2k digital, so would only be upscale if they did sadly, damn digital cameras to hell!

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Rarity for WB to do non steelbook for catalogue films nowadays

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Love this game! Rented it out several times on release, still go back to it now and then!

020

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

For a second i thought you said 40 years..... hahahaha!....oh shit

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Always thought it a strange name! Plus a younger me trying to pronounce it was like... despite nice gfx cutesy platform games didnt appeal to me.

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

A little sick came out of my mouth

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Was always worth a gamble at budget prices, plus i tended to stick to well known brands Ocean or Codemasters half the time.

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Wow us subscribers get another raw deal with the cover! Give us the retail cover options!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

Rented this out on my MD from a back of an cortina estate, so much fun with my mate!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Def in my top 10 games of all time. The first one whilst shorter has the best level balance and the one i play through time and time again.

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Tbf prefer the retail covers, should be a way for subscribers to be sent that one each month.

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

16-bit piracy was not a single reason, 8-bit machines software sales were still high, if you check your own charts even the huge console mega drive game Sonic only hit number 11 in the chart against 8-bit sales!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Always thought it a strange choice for one of the euro launch games. Especially with the low snes resolution i can imagine it gave some eye strain after a while!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Had to feel for those UK MSX mags kept saying the imminent arrival of MSX2 will save the day etc ….it would never arrived on these shores.

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

It looked good though! Software support was ok to start with, it was just lacking games, which it wasnt in truth aiming itself at with that pricepoint.

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Btw 1991 was peak gaming imo! 1992 comes close though!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Well in hindsight the last-ability of 92 now seems very tight!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Always fell in between the GB which i owned and Lynx which was more impressive, plus i had a MS, so software wise it was mostly the same.

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Yeah compared to the US where DVD is still the strongest, here Blu-ray is now on top.

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Virgin did a great job of Marketing Sega products upto iirc 1992

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Haha! Far from it, never been to America, but would love to do a silent film style tour of Hollywood….pipe dreams mainly lol

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Most of the good 90s mags were either closing or the writing was so bad they were turning into what Edge is now. I did buy a few Xbox and Gamecube mags, mainly for the coverdisc demos.

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Oh of course, i remember i had one of those electronic chess games. I said that only because most chess games (or board games) reviews gave out a norminal average score for 'it does the job'

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

You didnt hold back on the score!

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Sonic sold the Megadrive to me, i knew the Megadrive was coming out at some point in Europe, but bought a Master System in 1989 as it had the games i wanted, had two great years with that before getting a MD with Sonic in Autumn 1991.

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

I remember looking at those screenshots and thinking the backgrounds were impressive for the NES. I also thought the main character looked like Gordon the Gopher!

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Looks good, though £70 per game is steep, should be bundles of games for that price. May buy if they get post SNK games on it and any new stuff being made.

000

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I don’t mind if they make standard editions, but like 4k releases getting only steelbook releases it seems companies are trying to force more niche markets.

010

SilentJ @silentjay77.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

Exactly, if the DVD numbers would have dropped they would have dropped in line with 4k TV set uptakes, the fact they didn’t shows DVD buyers will now never upgrade their disc format.
