See, the problem is that rather than make ads less intrusive and tempt users to switch their adblockers off, the execs think the solution is even more adverts served to those who don't use an adblocker. Which pushes more people to sue adblockers, which means more ads, repeat ad infinitum.

I want to support journalism, so I usually turn off my ad blocker on sites I read. But look at this — 320 ads on a single ScreenRant page. That’s not support, that’s punishment. Bring back non-intrusive ads so readers can actually enjoy the article.

Absolutely unnecessary. A bunch of 30-something blokes acting like they are still 18 (because the "joke" will be they haven't really grown up) will be terrible.

That's the one. Picked up a few nice Saturn bits from there.

Hmm, might have to convince the wife to take a trip there one Sunday...

Yeah, I pop into Rewind every couple of months. Once cleaned them out of all their 3DO stock.

I remember the place in Afflecks. Good stuff, but yeah they were pricey. Used to be a "knock off" of CEX/Cash Convertors opposite the Arndale Market too. They had a good retro selection but went bust.

The whole Greater Manchester area is bizarrely short of places to pick up retro games.

I'm particularly fond of the area around the market hall and Underbank.

I watched this a couple of years back. It's fun.

There is supposed to be a 2nd series coming soon IIRC.

35 years ago, I was playing (and thoroughly enjoying) an import copy of Mega Drive Rainbow Islands. As I said in my review, this was yet another stellar coin-op port and yet another game that made Sega's new 16-bit system THE console to have. Just brilliant stuff!
