Shownotes
Grab your Golden Joystick and give it a waggle, it's time to travel back to the 1990s and remember the underrated Channel 4 TV show, Gamesmaster.
From Dominik Diamond's various incarnations, his brief Hollywood replacement and how Mario 64 brought down one of the show's cult heroes, we embrace our 'dweeb' 12-year-old selves by delving into the classic TV series.
We also discuss:
- The utter basics of Sonic the Hedgehog
- Patrick Moore's many talents
- How Gamesmaster was the precursor to YouTube, eSports and Twitch
- The fine art of knob gags
- The popstar whose proudest moment was winning a Golden Joystick
- The surprisingly sad ending
- Much more!
Clips used:
- Gamesmaster (Channel 4)
