Earlier this week I was contacted by a writer working on a new book about the UK video game magazine industry, asking if he could use parts of interviews that we did on the site with editors and writers ourselves.
That led me to look up his previous book and it looked really interesting to me, so I had to pick up a copy.
Already got a rush of nostalgia seeing the MB MicroVision in there. 😄

@[email protected] looks like a book right up my alley! Where did you pick up your copy from?

In the UK, you can buy it directly from https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Curious-Video-Game-Machines-Hardback/p/24332
But I got mine from Amazon Belgium, which is why I got it so quickly.
@[email protected] Belgium, man Belgium!! (Hoping that’s not going over everyone’s head lol)
Fab, thanks for the link!

Well, it went straight over mine. 😂
Then again, I don’t watch much of anything on TV anymore so that’s not surprising.
@[email protected] it’s from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (radio play / book). “Belgium” is referred to as the worst most crass curse word that’s only uttered by those with the most lose tongue and on Earth where they don’t know what it means 🤣

Ah, so I see that the writers were familiar with the place! 😂
The only good thing that I can think of that comes from here is chocolate and “French” fries.
I’m really stumped to think of much more than that.
At least we have Larian Studios, so that’s something to be really proud of. 😄
