Flicky Dizzy as I prefer to call it. It is good in its own right as a sort of Flicky clone.

The Oliver Twins were long since told to get tae .... by C64 owners for clearly not caring enough about Dizzy for that system. See the lazy decision on Kwik Snax (not Kwik Snax) for proof of that.

Did they play this whilst doing so?

The likes of KMFDM, Front 242 etc have far more talent than any of those nonces, that is for sure. And KMFDM play a superb show live too, so that whole "not being live" is utter bull.
I suggest playing these idiots A Drug Against War, very loud, until it hurts their ears.

And also Interceptor, naturally. I like it!

I was on a CrossCountry 4 car Voyager on that same journey on Wednesday last week. Old XC stock too, not the Avanti refurbs. Same issues with staffing which need remediating. Definitely needs at least Evero 7 car trains or similar on a regular basis to help - no point in 3tph til enough staff.

Supposedly. However:
December timetable has shifted those from Manchester to 14, 34 and 54 and allowing 1 min extra time;
Avanti's lack of train crew means guaranteed cancellations - every day. Whilst this is a bigger issue nationally, still a lottery;
The 3tph have different call patterns

I still have the home printed issue myself - from small acorns etc. Very nice to have it.

Four rock solid choices there, and a great introduction to anyone who has not heard what the SID chip could do for games. Have a huge soft spot for Mutants as that for me is an iconic Fred Gray piece.

Good result for yourselves, argubaly even better for us after we scraped past Leeds United yesterday.

Years later an earlier version of the music was found, hidden in the code of Rob Hubbard's music demos. It sounded much more like the Dick Barton theme so no wonder it was amended.

Like many of us, entering I WANT TO CHEAT in the high score table helped immensely. You picked something up on the second screen and you were invulnerable after that. Now for the right Freedom Kit items..

She's clearly in love with the bloke who was in love with the girl on the Manchester Virgin Megastore checkout desk. You know she is, she really is.
