That’s brilliant to hear Lou, and I’m glad your kids are enjoying it too. Who needs a Nintendo DS eh?

Still haven’t gotten round to digging mine out of the attic…

Just got mine out of the attic…feeling nostalgic…and popped in some batteries. Lo and behold it sprang to life and launched straight into that evocative start up ditty!!!! 25 years on; it’s amazing! I nearly dropped the thing in shock. So great to see my own children playing it now

I never ever played on this one.
The only one I ever owned was Astro Blaster by Hayes or Hales?

Great read though!

Well observed! Thanks matt74. No wonder I didn't recognise it, nobody I knew had that particular game when I was a kid. (In case anyone wonders what we're on about, check out the video on my post about Virgin Atlantic's 25th Birthday).
