[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 8939566, member: 40176"] Likewise catching up on a few I didn't mention previously. [B]Doctor Who[/B] was always around as I was growing up. I have memories of literally hiding behind the sofa watching it on BBC during the Tom Baker era. After it was cancelled I kept up with it reading the New Adventures novels published by Virgin, and later the BBC novels (I still have some in a cardboard box at the back of a cupboard somewhere). I've enjoyed and watched all of the modern series up until the Chibnall era, which lost some of my interest. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. [B]Stargate[/B] - watched the original movie at the cinema, thought it was good fun. Watched the TV series as they became available in the UK and really enjoyed SG1 and Atlantis. SG1 in particular does some really good work with building and progressing the universe as it goes. Wasn't so keen on Stargate Universe and stopped watching before it was cancelled. [B]Computers / Video games[/B] - I remember our parents had a computer called a Video Genie when we were very young. We'd buy Computer & Videogames magazine, which gave away free games - not on disc, oh no, not even on cassette, no they printed out the code on a dozen or so pages for you to type in at home. We managed to get a few of those running, mostly clones of Space Invaders type arcade games. After that, I owned a Commodore Vic-20 (later replaced by a Commodore 64) and my brother had a ZX Spectrum. Played plenty of games on those, Manic Miner was a favourite though I don't think we ever finished it. Around college age I had an Atari ST, which had some great games at the time. Elite II, Carrier Command, Starglider II. Got my first actual PC a few years later, when "multimedia PC" was a selling point because having a CD drive and a decent sound card were still a bit of a novelty. Earliest games on that were Magic Carpet and X-Wing, running on DOS because Windows was still an up-and-coming interface. I remained a PC gamer for a long time, never really looked at consoles, until around 2018 when I finally bought a PS4 having become intrigued by this robot-dinosaurs game I'd seen footage of. Really enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn, and the PS4, and subsequently PS5, have since become my primary gaming machines, though I do still play some games on PC. [/QUOTE]
