The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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
Ali

That's a good start then Archy. I put up an extra GAD, and you have a go at me and everyone else here! Then you complain that it's not friendly enough for you!!!
I reckon your Mum still puts out your Cornflakes, and if she didn't you would throw the spoon out of your high chair. (Bit harsh there Tone)
My advice - start by taking the right attitude and that's what you'll get back.

Come and meet the Notebles and Regulars, you make it sound like when a pub opens and it says come and meet some Bradford City players (or any other team, it's just that Bradford City are ace!)
