It just shows you what a down to Earth guy Ashens is, that when The Queen popped in to the room at 1:30 he didn't make a big deal of it. No name dropping, nothing like that. He just kept going like a pro. Top bloke.

Fun fact: the UK is the only country on Earth where the stamps don't say the name of the country on them, because the UK invented stamps and the postage system. Every other country writes the name of the country on the stamp. So Royal Mail have a responsibility of making cool full art stamps.

With the Populous stamp, before it was released the Royal Mail told us that when you lick it, it tastes like strawberries and gives you a deep, introspective hallucinogenic trip, that'll expand your mind and reveal new versions of reality to you. If you plant it in the ground, though, it'll grow into a massive tree after as few hours, and you can harvest more stamps off of it and lick/plant those, too! It's going to be the best stamp ever made. When you got it, it turned out to be a slightly below average, normal stamp.

Out of all the "1st generation" Tomb Raider games, I only really played Tomb Raider 3 back in the day. Mainly because it was the only one I could track down a copy of at the tender age of 7 or 8. And while I probably couldn't really go back to it today, since tank controls and platforming aren't the happiest of bedfellows for modern sensibilities, I did appreciate how "Adventures of Lara Croft" opened up after India. After that "world", you could go to Area 51, London and the South Pacific, in any order you desired. While I enjoyed Tomb Raider 2013 and most of Rise of the Tomb Raider, I feel like the next Tomb Raider game should return to that Indiana Jones style of globetrotting. Sure, we had a bit of that with the introductory Syria level in Rise of the Tomb Raider, but after that we're restricted to Siberia. Instead of focusing on a singular locale, as has been the wont of the "3rd generation" Tomb Raider games so far, I think I'd like to see the next game take a step back from the semi open-world aspect and instead have us exploring 4 or 5 more distinct areas revolving around ancient ruins, while still retaining the quasi-Metroidvania aspect of gaining upgrades that open up new areas. A bit like Jedi: Fallen Order, in that regard. As a side note, while I never played the original Tomb Raider game in its original form, I did play Tomb Raider Anniversary, which if I remember right was basically a remake of Tomb Raider 1 with more modern controls and polish. If Squenix had any sense in their head, they would have given 2 and 3 the "Anniversary" treatment, since I would have sunk my teeth into those back in the day.

I think Wipeout is one of the original Playstation racing games that has aged the best because the ships were optimized for low polygon count, having the whole aesthetic designed around large triangles. That game was also the first time I'd heard about Red Bull, which I think I probably assumed was an imaginary brand before the energy drink started arriving in Canadian stores in 1997.

Psygnosis became SCE Studio Liverpool before being shutdown by Sony/Playstation during the first year of the Vita. Zipper Interactive, SOCOM and Unit 13 developer, along with Bigbig Studios, Pursuit Force and Little Deviant developer. All released good games for the Vita but for some reason were shut down before the Vita was even a year old. One of the many mess ups by Sony during the Vita's sad life.

For trivia, DMA Design changed hands, eventually become Rockstar North. Still based in Edinburgh. GTA III had the old DMA Designs logo on before Take Two took em and renamed it Rockstar. Sensible Software no longer exists. Got absorbed into Codemasters. Psygnosis got absorbed into Sony, as Sony Computer Entertainment Europe as Sony Studio Liverpool. It got closed down a few years back. Codemasters still exists, as Britain's largest games dev iirc. It's part owned by Reliance Entertainment. Bullfrog got absorbed into EA UK and renamed EA Bright Light. No longer exists now. Eidos, who did Tomb Raider, exists as part of Square Enix now. No longer works on Deus Ex or Tomb Raider. They're now handled by Eidos Montreal. Crystal Dynamics did Tomb Raider for awhile.

Little fun fact Wipeout Omega collection came out in 2017 which is a remake of the PSP, Vita and Wipeout HD games on the PS4. It also runs full 4k 60fps on the PS4 Pro and supports VR.

If I remember right, Worms lost out in that contest (in Amiga Format?) to a game made in the Freescape spin-off 3D Construction Kit, with AF clearly not realising this and marvelling at the winner's "technical excellence". When it was pointed out to them, they doubled down and went "Of course we knew that! It's still technically excellent! Congrats to the winner for, um, using the right tool for the job, or something."

​@@Gambit771Not as far as I'm aware... there's certainly online multiplayer in the cartoon-y sequels. If they have, and I've missed out, that'd be annoying.

I think the 'going around to his house' story you are thinking of is Ocean going around to a kids house to look at a racing game he was working on, which they then paid him handsomely to wrangle into the speccy port of Outrun.

Psygnosis was absorbed into other Sony department development studios in 2012. The Wipeout series is not classified as dead as it was remastered and released with all the latest sequel expansions as a compendium in 2017, Wipeout Omega Collection. Offers quite a "bang for the buck" on PS4, especially since it free to Playstation Plus members.

The lemmings in _Lemmings 2_ were exactly the same size as those in the original; there were just different tribes and many different additional abilities for the lemmings (although the Classic tribe were restricted to just those from the first game, although Bomber became Exploder in the second game because Bomber in _Lemmings 2_ did something a bit different and *did not* kill the lemming in question). _All New World of Lemmings_ - which was the next game in the series - *did* have different-sized lemmings in it, however.

I know Tomb Raider came out on PC (not sure if before Playstation, at the same time, or afterwards) because it was one of the games that came with a Compaq Presario computer I got in 1997, although I never could get it to work properly on that computer. All I could get to load was a demo mode.

Had Fantastic Dizzy and Treasure Island Dizzy on my C-64, but never remember actually getting very far in either. Being very young at the time, my favourite was actually Bubble Dizzy. It played a bit like Rainbow Islands, where you had to get Dizzy to the top of the screen while avoiding enemies and against a time limit. Only he had to ride bubbles instead of shooting rainbows. I thought the music was the best thing about it, though.

In the second Tomb Raider you get to restore a Venetian opera house to partially working order. When you spend the bulk of your time raiding tombs, it's important to give something back too.

There definitely was a PC version of Tomb Raider. I have it on Steam. Really good game - though back in the day it was annoying how NOBODY would shut up about it. Back around 1998 it seemed there were only 2 games that had ever been released, Tomb Raider 3 and FF7. Also, I had Micro Machines PC in a weird German demo/shareware compilation. I don't even know where the CD-ROM came from or why it was in our house, but yeah...MM was definitely in there. Also also, I remember having the demo for Worms 95 where you got to play both teams, and just gathering up all my Worms in one spot, putting a stick of dynamite down, and seeing how many I could blow up at once xD (Worms Armagddon is best Worms though.)
