Oh man, the magazines. I did a lot of growing up following along with the Your Sinclair crew. If I'd been ten years older I might even have got more than half the jokes.
Yep, T'zer, Gordo Greatbelly... or were they Sinclair User? And Lloyd Mangram and the rest of the ZZAP! gang. For me they were all one big cool clique that felt like the friends I never had.
Since the decline of gaming magazines the Western game industry hasn't really been able to recapture that feel of .. glam.

Same, and they were my first exposure to naughty stuff too. I couldn't understand why my folks didn't want me looking at that Game Over ad or Martech's Vixen poster (with Corinne Russell) for too long, or why my older friends wanted to "borrow" those magazines so often hah
