"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE (October 2001 Magnetism)"

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

Ali

Tricky eh?

you could print out a page of the latest cheats (of the time) and put that page in the SR mag.

people could then cut these out and can collect them, ofcorce at the top it would have in giant writing 'ukcheats.com'

you could have a A4 tear out poster in the middle of the SR mag with the 'would you cheat on lara?' advert on it.

the one which says:

"would you cheat on lara?
ukcheats.com
over 12,000 cheats online"

with lara croft lieing on her side with a gun in one hand resting on her hip and the other supporting her head.

You have a picture of a man shooting people with a bannana...caption
"He really should get out more....well actually he needn't. He could just visit www.ukgames.com were you can buy and win games from the comfort of your home....www.ukgames.com"

NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WHAT UKCHATFORUMS IS YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF

ukchatforums.com
brought to you by The Special Reserve Discount Club
the largest computer games club in the world

Explanation:
I think any advert with "brought to you by The Special Reserve Discount Club the largest computer games club in the world" added to the end will draw in an audience.

When I see an advert from a company I know nothing of I don't tend to buy from them as I don't know whether they are good or not (basically whether they are going to mess me around). IF you claim to be the largest computer games club in the world I'd go to the site... Get my drift?

but have you ever advertised on tv?



Ah... now that gives me an interesting idea.

How much does a prime time advert cost these days?

Let's say £15000 for thirty seconds, for the sake of argument.

Now, suppose your budget is £250. That gives you half a second. Another way to think of that, is 500 milliseconds. Enough to get a few hundred frames worth of subliminal messaging in, surely?

some of the scratch cards could win membership prizes luke a dvd controler or a PS2 stand or maybe some just win a free issue of the SR magazine.
