Someone clearly saw my hairy arms before naming this unauthorised compilation of unused clips. Just remember to destroy/send me any copies you see in the wild and I'll post you a galvanised paperclip or something in return.
In the unlikely event that it was Playstation who commissioned this product, apologies for passing off your video content as my own. I plead extreme stupidity! Also, buy a dictionary, guys. :P

Goes on ten minutes too long considering I only demo half the game, but what the heck.
Of all the subjects you could make a text adventure about, cricket is probably the least likely. Thankfully, this game has little to do with the sport, instead focusing on the continuing adventures of the England cricket team circa 1988.
Action centres around events described in Ian Ram Bothams autobiography Guano and Gower. Youll have to watch the video to find out what happens, because the book was pulled by the ECB after only 300 copies were printed. Apparently they dont like players blabbing about top secret operations in Natangaville, Kerguezeland.
The verdict? Favourable, as it happens. Its not too difficult to find your way around, and a very British sense of humour is prevalent to brighten the most boring of situations. Plus theres a walkthrough available on the internet just in case you get confused in all the guano-pilfering action.
I wonder what we had to pick up those tea bags for? Considering why we eventually needed the cigarettes, Id suggest they may be to feed a hungry shark with a taste for Earl Grey.")

Hey, remember that virtual reality thing from season 2 of GamesMaster? Enthusiast Simon Marston has bought and restored not one, but TWO of them! The one in this video was donated to the Retro Computer Museum for the benefit of lucky expo visitors.
In this video, Simon gives us a brief rundown of the game while other people laugh at how silly their mates look in the pods.
Also, note that the machine cost 35 grand new! Wow.

After Collies definitive review of the Speccys Advanced Lawnmower Simulator (AKA Advanced Lawnmowing Simulator, or just Lawnmower Simulator), I promised myself I wouldnt make any more videos of the game. But when I discovered an Amstrad version, I couldnt *not* give it a go!
Its a fairly faithful port, this. I find it just as hard as ever to earn that most coveted of video game rewards: the corned beef sandwich, and you can still get exploded by leaving your malfunctioning mower out in the rain. Blooming budget brands - thats the last time I do my electronics shopping at PoundSava.")
![The Galactic Pizza [Amstrad CPC] (Galactic Plague)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n29UJDWeVuc/mqdefault.jpg "The Galactic Pizza [Amstrad CPC] (Galactic Plague)
Often dubbed the Worst Amstrad CPC Game of All Time, but should really be the Hardest CPC Game of All Time. After all, it *was* made by Indescomp, a company notorious for their difficult Amstrad CPC titles. Though to be fair, they did get that reputation from The Galactic Plague. Are you getting the message yet?
Apparently terribleness is a real word. Oh, and I swear I dont wish to make a catchphrase of this is quite advanced for the Amstrad CPC...
