Filmed by the wawn ayand ownleah Ed Legend of Lomas, but thanks to Damian McFerran for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlZY2QJUWoE
This is a whirlwind tour of CVG Towers, the place where all those stupid April Fools pranks were born. Kind of unspectacular, since Id built up this vision of a magical, Hogwarts-style place where writers practiced magic spells and ate tomato sauce neat from the bottle. And while the latter might have happened, I dont think Jay Kay Rowling got her inspiration from a school visit to Docklands.
Verdict: childhood destroyed!
Oh, and if enough people want me to do more GamesWorld stuff (hint: comments section is a good gauge of interest!), revive the series sooner rather than later. ;)

Youd be forgiven for thinking Games World Series 1 didnt exist and they skipped straight to season 2. But no, I have uncovered evidence to the contrary, and here it is!
Starring some bloke and some other guys whose names I forgot. Also, Bugs Bunny and Cool Spot!
Includes something about steamrollers.

Dont worry, that title doesnt mean hes dead...
Sunday 1st May @ 15:00: Jon Hare (Sensible Software) – Computer Games Designer (1986 – 2016)
Interviewed by Matt Andrews
Sensible Soccer and Sensible World of Soccer have been held up as some of the greatest football games since they first appeared in the 90s. Now developer Jon Hare is ready to show the world the recent reboot; Sociable Soccer.
jon-hare“We are delighted to give all of the attendees at PLAY Expo Blackpool a hands on sneak preview of Sociable Soccer. It really is the spiritual successor to Sensible Soccer…super-fast football fun.” Jon Hare.
The game will be available to play at PLAY Expo Blackpool on both days, including tournaments for everyone to take part in. Players will go head to head in 3 minute matches with over 1000 teams to choose from. The finals will be overseen on stage by Jon himself.
As if this isn’t enough, Jon Hare will be joining us on Sunday to talk about everything from Sensible Software to Sociable Soccer and to answer your questions in a Q&A session. Jon needs no introduction and is one of the best known veterans of the video games industry.
Jon was one of the founders of Sensible Software in the 1980’s along with Chris Yates and they created a number of highly polished titles for the C64 including Parallax, Microprose Soccer and Wizball all featuring music by musician Martin Galway who joined the team in 1988. They continued to produce successful games during the 16 bit era and Mega Lo Mania, Cannon Fodder, WizKid and Sensible Soccer all achieved critical acclaim.
Sociable Soccer has been created by a team of developers who have worked on projects like Quantum Break, Max Payne, The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land and Minigore. Over 10,000 researched player names will be in the game, though all teams are edible allowing players to customise and create their ideal team to play with in online multiplayer mode and working their way through the clan-based leagues.
