The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Our unique competition site Gameaday is undergoing a trial in May - please read on for some important changes.
Gameaday.co.uk is our amazing competition site that gives you three chances to win a Game or DVD of your choice, every day! Looking at the amount of prizes given away since its inception in April 2000, over £50,000 worth of booty has been awarded to you, the punter. Blimey.
For this month only, we'll be running a trial on Gameaday.co.uk, so only full Special Reserve members can win the Game or DVD of their choice. However, any non-members who contribute can still win Gameaday, and they will win a 1 year Special Reserve membership plus their choice of FREE gift of their choice! This gives you all the benefits of being in the best games club in the world, plus it means you are fully eligible to win the Game or DVD of your choice next time you win! Any outstanding wins before today will be fulfilled as normal.
There's not much you have to do different - if you are already a Special Reserve member, then just make sure you fill in your membership number in your Registration Details, and quote it when you claim your prize. If you win and you are not a member, you'll be awarded a 1 year Special Reserve membership and a FREE gift of your choice, from our range of over 40! Just send an e-mail to the normal Gameaday address, notifying us of your win, and we'll complete your membership details. Congratulations, you are now a full Special Reserve member!
If you've never heard of Gameaday, then (a) where have you been, and (b) unlucky - you've been missing out. Gameaday gives you three chances every day to win the Game or DVD of your choice, just by submitting to one of our interactive sites. Every day, we give away three prizes - one for discussion posts at UKchatforums.com, one for reviews at UKreviews.com and one for cheats (UKcheats.com), hints (UKhints.com) or walkthroughs (UKwalkthroughs.com). If your submission is the best of the day, then congratulations - you've won a great prize! Gameaday has been running for two years now, and we've given away over 1,500 prizes - that's over £50,000 worth of the good stuff. Again, crikey.
We hope this doesn't discourage you from contributing to Gameaday.co.uk, as all posts will still be considered equally - essentially, it shouldn't change the way you use the site at all. Once we have studied the results of the May trial, we will decide on the future of the Gameaday prize structure and let you know in due time. We hope you continue to enjoy the services that Gameaday.co.uk provides.

If all forum users that are members could fill in their details in their registration admin page, I'd be most grateful. Any questions, discuss in here. It's not a massive change, so I don't expect too much trouble.

Yep, after getting a letter with an SR mag from Snuggly telling me to become a full member, I decided to take action before he chopped my head off with that axe of his.
Membership is valid until October, excellent.

Obviously DVD remotes, control pads etc.. are still too pricey to be offered as free gifts.
What about?
-DVD racks/holders
-Vouchers. (For Example, a voucher entitling holder to buy one Xbox game and get another for 1/2 price, etc...)
-More DVD movies.
-Some sort of cheap link cable?
-etc...

In which case I am owed £6 for this week and the Union wishes to boycott your stores, as being chased along the riverbanks by irate (and somewhat speedy) staff members makes it almost impossible to pilfer anymore.
This will not stand.

Yes - expired members are very important to us, so we still treat them as members. It's been that way ever since will voted Noddy and Big Ears onto our Board of Directors. Other company policies include refunding all faulty games in full without having to send them back - just phone and claim your money back anytime for any reason. We also pay £3 to everybody who parks in our car park, and we send out special invitations to the Union of Shoplifters to encourage their members to visit our stores, with a 100% discount voucher to avoid misunderstandings. We even give all of our profits to Daffy Duck.

Yes, it's like a deprived country up here. We have one bus for the entire region to share, only two schools, and one carpark. Lucky for us we can't afford cars or the carpark would be full and the roads would be jammed
Please, SR, help bring some much needed business to the north! I have to drink from the River Tyne each day!
