The Speccy/Amstrad 'get shot 'em up' classic enters its third decade in existence sometime this year. To celebrate, Harry Yack attempts to do something he never quite managed in the early to mid-Nineties: eat a whole five finger Kit Kat. Indeed, such things weren't invented back then (I think - someone will be along to confirm it after lunch).
To make things a *bit* more interesting, while Mr Yack stuffs his gob with melted wafer there's free* footage of some game or other. I dunno; I forgot all about it because this was recorded some time in late 2012, possibly.
Apologies for frame skip and slurring. My computer was drunk and my brain fell out, OK?
From the (now sadly defunct) official Durell website:
"Harrier Attack was a resounding success for Durell, selling over 250,000 copies in total, worldwide, and becoming Durell's number one best seller."
HY addendum: Alan Sugar gave away a further nine billion copies of the game as free software bundled with the Amstrad CPC464.
Happy birthday, Harrier Attack, you owd get.

Warning: This video is certainly not for kids. Actually, neither is Pokemon Green Engrish - its full of not-so-subtle innuendo and references to parts of the body you wouldnt want your 10-year old child knowing about for a good few years yet.

Your message offers hope in a world of bum numbness. Cheers.
Once, at the age of 12, I set a cat on fire... Nobody will find this out. You live too far from me and our eyes will never cross on the street.
This game truly is a life changer... To everyone who reads this, in this crazy fd up realm we live in, I want you to know that love for your fellow man... is the key to enlightenment.
If I met you on the street, would you spare me the laser beam in the groin?
Next time: A tribute to the Madchester beat. Maybe - depends on how many people remember that New Order song. Selfie: Sisters of the Amniotic Lens [14/05/15] Messages of hope in a world of bum numbness.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PtDJ0emrrDI/mqdefault.jpg)
![VERY GLITCHED Street Gang Football! [Amstrad CPC]
Look out for the glitches!
Dodgy hacked ROMs invariably lead to unexpected hilarity, and this one is no exception. Watch as Harry Yacks emulator crumbles under the weight of this Codies classic... will his Windows 8 computer survive the experience?
Listen as a wizened old bovid pines for the days of booting balls at passing cars and legging it when its driver brakes and chases after you, fist held aloft.
Someone tell CollieUK to do this one. Ill send him a fiver if he agrees.
Music by D. Whittaker. Cheers, D.

WARNING: PROFANITY.
More of my favourite pastime in San Andreas - taking on the cops!
The footage in this video has been sped up by 33%, Benny Hill style to improve the pacing and such. Also its much funnier.
Includes the most epic train crash of all time!

![Hamburger (Fast Food) on TV Boy II [Atari 2600 clone] - Youre Getting Fatter!
Its time for more food-related fun and frolics courtesy Fast Food or should I say Hamburger for the Atari 2600. This particular version of the game, which is plagued with colour emulation problems, can be found on the Akor/Systema TV Boy, an unlicensed clone console thingy in the shape of a controller.
Fast Food is exactly as the title claims: its really fast and has lots of food in it. Your dismembered mouth is charged with the task of consuming grub for points, which you will soon find quite an addictive concept. After drawing you in with novelty value, the game soon presents quite a challenge as the various burgers, milkshakes and tortilla chips come at you quicker than John Prescott when he hears the buffets open. It becomes increasingly difficult to dodge the purple peppers (AKA pickles or sausages) which will inevitably lead to a debilitating, gassy death - the things whizz by so fast you cant help but inadvertently swallow them.
I wont go so far as to say this is the best game on the TV Boy, but its certainly my favourite, even if it does require ever-better lightning reactions as you advance through the difficulty levels. In years gone by we coped with this typical Atari requirement much better, but even today much enjoyment can be found in gobbling up items of unhealthy food. And Im not just talking about in real life. Hamburger (Fast Food) on TV Boy II [Atari 2600 clone] - Youre Getting Fatter!](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RYvZzmJed7A/mqdefault.jpg)

Warning: extreme bias ahead.
Edited together on a Bank Holiday afternoon off. Yay for not having anything to do!
Note: there are tons of little inaccuracies in here, like the fact FIFA didnt appear on the Dreamcast, or ISS Deluxe was released just one year before this game. I dont believe AEK Athens are in the game either. Couldnt be bothered going back to fix them though, and anyway, grant me a bit of artistic license, eh?
