this is 100% true. Even Donkey Kong Country, the only game to ever matter coming out of Europe, is garbage compared to real video games. Euros need to be completely, unequivically removed from the video game market.

Clive Sinclair was a nerd God among men and is dearly missed. Genuises like him are lights in the darkness. Whter he was making pocket TVs, affordable computers for homes or early escooters he was the man not some giant PR stunt like Steve Jobs. AFAIK Mike Singleton who created Lord of Midnight was one af the greatest game coders to walk on the face of the earth.

I've been to the pub in Cambridge where Clive had a fight with his mate, the Baron of Beef (which is adjacent another pub called the Mitre, but Baron of Beef is slightly better. There's a dozen or more pubs in Cambridge better than both however.) Micro Men depicts this fight as well.

the united kingdom is gay though and just made up in 1801 and ended in 1987 Scotland Wales etc are actual nations. Tgat flag was due to be withdrawm as part of the 'royal' funeral but due to brexit budget cuts is sill in use. There was a competittion in London achools to make a new flag.

A specially commissioned Golden Nintendo Wii was then gifted to Queen Elizabeth II by a video game company called THQ. But she never got to play on the console as she couldn’t receive presents from unsolicited visitors Unlike prince philip, prince andrew all all the other royal nonces and jimmy savellies (literally). Uk flag was invented in 1801 and is bullshit..
