loved it. maybe the best show yet. Didn’t know you had a LYNX, i still really get a thrill talking about videogames, loved hearing about your history with them.
I need to do a show about it as well.

I grew up on two channels. My older brother remembers having just one. I remember being envious of a neighbour who had a bigger antenna and could pick up the BBC from abroad.
