any on at the moment ? for a genre as massive as gaming i think down the years the gaming public have been somewhat short changed as far as tv is concerned.anybody have any favourite shows from down the years ?

anybody remember games world with big boy barry ? and who played his mate lesley ?
 


I remember Gamesmaster, where a big wrinkly perv would coax young boys into his dungeon by offering the chance to play on new games.

If they were really good they got to play with his golden joystick.


The sick fucka
 
I remember Gamer tv on Bravo.. it would preview new games, review new releases etc. It was pretty class.
 
Used to love watching games master. They did a cheat/tips section at the end I seem to remember.

There are a couple of different ones on Showcase (201 on Sky) most days.

There was also Game Face and Ginx on Bravo and Challenge but that's finished I think.

Anyone remember BITS? Used to be on late on C4, hosted by three lasses? That was canny.

A Zipstick (joystick of choice) sprayed gold !
 
There used to be a really good one on Sky 1 about 8/9 year ago. Can't remember what it's called now

I seem to remember that one too, they had people go up against the game developers for new games that came out and that ?
 
Was there not one on on CBbc or citv with a Scottish lass on with short blond spiked hair? Possibly Andy crane too?

Think it was ITV, Violet Berlin was on it and they had cheats come up at the end and you had to tape it and watch it back by pausing to see what they were.
 
I remember the one on Bravo. There used to be a channel on sky called '.tv' which used to have the odd game programme on there but thats going back about 12 years ago. Nothing beats Gamesmater though.

I can't remember the name of the show but David Walliams was one of the "professional" gamers.

There used to be a channel on sky called X-League TV and they showed tournaments and review shows. It changed its name to Pulse and slowly died. That'll have been about 2008/9ish.

you're right with walliams but he wasn't one of the gamers he was big boy barry's sidekick as seen in this clip below.

just watched a bit of that bad influence show (20 years old by the way :eek: ) and they're reviewing a snes game called joe + mac caveman ninja for the snes .......priced at £49.99 :eek::eek:
 
I think I paid 60 or 70 quid for street fighter 2 when it first came out for the snes !

So did Busta777 when it came out if I remember correctly. Mad how much games cost back in the day.


My mam used to order secret packages from the catalogue back in the day; the games would come in threes and would come unboxed or with some slight damage. Was a lottery as to what you got but cheap and picked up some good bargains.
