Nostalgia overload: GamesMaster, Bad Influence and more!

[Alex79]

I've been off work the last two days and found myself wondering if there were any old games shows on YouTube. This guy has uploaded them all!

It's awesome! Gamesmaster, Bad Influence, even Knightmare and more!

I'm sure most of us remember early 90's Channel 4 classic, Gamesmaster. I remember how excited I used to be when it was on. I don't think any games show since manage to capture the same feeling this used to. And watching them now highlights what a filthy chap that Dominik Diamond was! They're just as good to watch now as they ever were!

Will have to check that out. I remember Dave Perry throwing his toys out after losing a challenge on Super Mario 64.

I'll never forget Dominic Diamond's sarcastic review of Altered Beast for the Megadrive: "Walk along kick, walk along kick, walk along kick. What an experience". And seeing the GamesMaster get pissed off when some kid got lippy at him about Sonic cheats or something.

Bad Influence I don't remember a lot of, other than kids jizzing themselves over everything in the review section, and Andy Crane pretending he knew what the fuck he was talking about.

Then of course there was Games World, with Big Boy Barry and the Games Mistress.

Always wanted to play Big Boy Barry at Street Fighter 2. He thought he was brilliant and I knew I would've destroyed him.

Bits was indeed fun. Emily Buff is still on the horror channel sometimes, though she's just had a kid so might e taking a break.
