Now, What was its Name Again?

[Hipsy_Gypsy]

Hello, folks!

During the '90s-early 2000s, a media review programme came on at about tea time in the UK. It reviewed new video game and film releases. I absolutely loved watching it and I specifically remember it reviewing early Tomb Raider games whenever they were new out. Fantabulastic.

The presenter of the programme was nothing more than a very lovely-sounding voice. Thinking back, his voice intensely reminded me of Mark Dolan. Though it seems like Charlie Brooker's cup of tea, I was near enough certain that it was not him (and it wasn't).

Luckily, at the time of writing this, I got informed that the programme was called, Movie, Games, Videos (which started off as Movies, Movies, Movies)! I'm so happy right now, I could do a somersault. But I shan't, lest I do my back in. Also, the presenter's name is Steve Priestly. Apparently it wasn't on at tea time after all.

Spoiler: Interviewing the creator of EARTHWORM JIM when... the game was just new out

Spoiler: When Sony had just released the PLAYSTATION... the first one.

Spoiler: The new 3DO

Does anybody else remember this show? Do you lot remember any programmes similar to this one that you'd like to share with us? Do any of you remember a show like this but cannot, for the life of you, remember the name so that we can all help you out?

My God, I bloody well loved this show... and that Priestly man's voice!

If they're talking about the PlayStation as an upcoming console then this would have been what, 93? 94? It's before my time sorry.

Haha, no worries. Aye, The PSX was first launched in '94. It's hardly before your time, either!

I believe that's the name.

Ahh, I think I vaguely remember that, but I watched a lot more of Movies, Games, Videos. Either way, I just subscribed to that channel. Despite destroying some games in their episodes, it's great to watch.

Do you (or anyone, for that matter) remember the Crystal Maze that Richard O'Brien presented for a while? Gotta love those puzzle/physical game shows. Feel free to share those as well!

I was born after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

And I'm from the western hemisphere.

And the videos you linked have Bad Influence as the upload name.

Very nice.

Haha, trust me that I didn't even notice. Though I suppose I was signed out when I looked up the show Bad Influence after you posted.

The Crystal Maze was fantastic. Hell, I'm American, and I still somehow have fond memories of that show despite the fact I've only seen it about 4 times. That and Fort Boyard (that might have been French though) are things I really wish we had analogues for in the US. The closest thing I can think of that we have is Legends of the Hidden Temple, which is a bit of a stretch as well as off the air for like 15 years.

*recognises that title* Fucking hell, what a nostalgia trip...

All I remember, for the most part, were the shitty looking sets and the free computer games that we had at school (which you generally played holding the mouse back to front).

Captcha - 'let go', think that's directed at you OP! =P

Lmao, I remember watching Weebl Stuff in school, like Badger, Badger and Mr Stabby, though that wasn't too long ago, really.

Oh, har-de-har, you're so funny! Haha, I love these new captchas. It probably is, mind!

I don't think I really watched Crystal Maze too much; not religiously, anyroad. In fact, you probably saw more of it than I did! I adore Richard O'Brien, so that's probably where my love for (re-)discovering it comes from, haha!
