It was good.

It really was good.

Special Reserve NRG magazine if you're in the Special Reserve Club.

So, you know, more into that thing.

Or just the catalogues that came in games.

Like here's a Microprose one that would have been bundled.

And as we've been building the library in the pump house, I've been coming across more and more of these catalogs and just putting them to one side.

If they're in games, I keep them in games, but if they're loose, putting them to one side, because people love browsing these catalogs and just for the exact reason you're describing, thinking about the thing they were obsessed with, the thing they really wanted for Christmas, um,

Strider, I was obsessed with one year and wanted that for Christmas.

And when I got it, I took my Amiga downstairs, whole family chatting, having a lovely Christmas while I was sat in the kitchen with an Amiga 500 playing Strider at full volume.

Microsoft Space Shuttle, that was another one I got obsessed with and had to have.

Yeah, but catalogs per se, hit and miss because I always knew they would be light on the computer-y stuff, but I'd always have a look.

Yeah, I did.

Yeah, these were big things.

I don't...

have it to hand but there is a photo of me one Christmas with my Amiga 500 and I got an external floppy drive that Christmas and there's a photo of me just sort of standing next to it patting the floppy drive and looking really proud of my floppy drive I got a floppy drive for Christmas a second drive for my Atari ST because loads of games were in two discs and I loved it as well so no you're not alone Do you know when I finally got my external floppy drive for my Amiga 500?

That's where they belong, in the toy section.

All right.

That's right.

Oh, hello.
