More retro fun! A really good-quality (condition as opposed to content) episode of Cyberzone from 1993 has turned up. Smack bang in the middle of the Tim Child Virtual Reality era.
I love the aesthetic of Cyberzone (including an unexpectedly rocky banger theme from Ed Welch), but God watching people try and Do Stuff in it was a bit of a chore wasn’t it? I wonder how many tasks they thought teams would get through – they’ve built all these areas, and they’ve a vehicle strategy dimension, but nobody gets past more than three puzzles. I watched all of these when they went out, I don’t think anybody ‘found Thesp’.
Oh good, an excuse to refer to Craig Charles laying down his point of view, very authentically, on the John-Fashanu-on-Gladiators Ford-Model-A-horn Awooga beef:
