They just wouldn't get away with this today because of woke,

You can’t say anything these days! Is what silly people say, a lot. You can actually say whatever you like. You can say, for example, and with confidence, that there are certain things you could get away with in gaming thirty years ago that simply wouldn’t fly now. Like… racing games with only one track. Platformers with a length of 20mins if you’re good at them. Games with terrible representation of anyone who isn’t a straight white male.
Attitudes and expectations change with time - sometimes it’s progress, sometimes it’s regression. But whatever the reason, it does lead to a lot of otherwise good games being cast into the shame cupboard of history. Games which would be a tough sell or borderline offensive now, but play great.
So what’s the best one of those, according to our esteemed panel? This week Tom and I are joined once again by Richie Morgan from I Hate Doctor Who and Owen O’Donnell from The Infinite Review, two people who also remember the past.

Always love a gamew**k reunion

Love whenever anyone's current endeavours involves any of the Gamewank/Pleasureland alumni. Jim should see if Tom'll let him get Guy and Barry on.

I think we all fixate on Toms childhood because he exudes this childlike energy and charm, never grow old Tom!

[@paklaselt2198]

Never heard Tom swear before. I wasn't ready for it.
