i went to see it live once at the NEC when i was about 11. This was when VR was the in thing and they had a VR stand.
I remember i bought a Gamesmaster mag when i was there and it had a review in it for Cool Spot

Used to love it and buy the mags.
Anyone remember the Sky1 Games World?
David Walliams used to crack me up with Big Boy Barry, and The Games Mistress was Jet from Gladiators.

I used to love when cheats consisted of just pressing, 'up, down, left, right, up, up, right, down'. BOOM! Unlocked everything.

Did that have that squirrel game on it, where people had to collect as many nuts as possible by playing over the phone?

Bit like gaming being mainstream nowadays and having a PS3 or an XBOX is an essential house hold item. Was only 3 or 4 years ago knowing what an MP3 or JPG was meant you was some sort of cellar dwelling nerd.

Awesome show If you were lucky enough to have Sky in the early 90's you will've enjoyed Games World too lol Think that was the one with Big boy Barry

Having Sky though was thought to be amazing back then i never had it but a couple of mates did and i didnt half envy them, having all those channels and MTV was like a dream

I watch Gamers Bitesize on some shitty channel on sky, showcase on 205 or something, has reviews of games for 15 mins, then Guru Larry's retro corner for 15 mins. On a few times a day
