Verdict: 9%

My favourite magazines were those that reviewed computer games. My favourite reviews were of those games that got slated and awarded an ultra low score. I would read those with glee. I'm talking about mags like Crash, Big K, Computer and Video Games, Your Sinclair...
I was reminded of this when reading Retro Gamer (Load→24), page 101. This review is of a new game made for an old system. The Slarti and Stash Space Saga for the Commodore 64 or emulator. The game get's 9% and the review has some nice harsh words;

"...it's time to reset your computer as you ponder why you've spent that time playing this...that would be all well and good if there was anything like a game here but there clearly isn't.... if you want to be reminded of all those gaming disasters of yesteryear, give this a try. Otherwise, avoid like the plague."*Click the image to see it move, whee!*
Hooray, that cheered me up. Apparantly the game is a free download so you can ch-ch-check it out yourself by clicking anywere on this sentence.

I have a similar thing for reviews in music mags. I am filled with glee when an album is awarded an incredibly low score and love to read the negative (rarely constructive) comments. Some of my favourite albums have been universally blasted by the music press. I'm not sure why but this makes me feel special!

Haggiswurst, Did you POKE 47684,0 then play the image 99 times? That's the only way that you can get Lara Crofts clothes to fall off.
