The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Okay, an absolute torrent of entries for this one, it too ka good couple of hours to read them all, and I had to kill several trees for the paper to print them all out, so no moaning about the winners.
Winner of a game of his choice - mickey, for his suggestion of a 'Gameaday Receipt' idea, of which many of you suggested, but mickey got their first. Well done, mickey.
Runners up prize of a DVD of his choice goes to Aliboy, for his 'Santa' idea. It's well put and a nice festive idea, so it's definitely worthy of a prize. Congrats.
Thanks to everyone for all your entries, we read them all and found them to be very useful. Peace out, and complaints to the usual address. Cheers

"If S= 110 + 40 = 40C x 30
and R= 20k x dr + 2 then what would S+R equal? Confused? you shouldn't be. SR equals great priced games, a great place to chat about games and a great place to win games. www.ukgames.com"

This is probably a stupid idea and one that you wouldnít use.
I know you give away so many prizes and I love you for that but if you want more people, you have got to think bigger.
Like every year or something you could have like a special gad, like one that has the value of 50 quid. With that 50 quid could buy anything that you wanted. MaybeÖ two 15 games, and one dvd. If there is money left over you get that in a cheque or something.
You couldnít just have the 50 quid, you would have to make up at least 30 quid or somethingÖ
You could buy like PC hardware, gadgets anything just as long as it was from the mag.
Ah well, just a suggestion that came to me head :o)
