    The gaming market has seen some extensive interest of late. It has surged like cars post covid.

    What was your favourite game as a kid?

    Do you invest in video games?

    I remember using those 1980's consoles at friends houses cos we never had any of these. I did have a Commodore 64 which the olds thought was educational but really just a platform for PC games...A lot of time wasted playing "Raid over Moscow" and " Impossible Mission". :)

    Still got the original Playstation kicking around...only ever bought two games for that being TeKken and Metal Gear Solid....once again, a lot of time wasted and thumb calluses to boot.
