Bread Bin & Cartridge

On this day in 1989 — Friday the twenty-second — Virgin's Shinobi is fighting for shelf space after the Spectrum Computing drop on the eighteenth. Black Box on the chart, Zzap cheering the Sixty-Four, Amiga Format shrugging. Lee and Mark Webb dig into the charts, the high street, the mags, and a three-machine sound-and-graphics desk — Sixty-Four, Spectrum, Amiga. Bread Bin & Cartridge.

On this day, 21 September 1988: UK charts and the high street, Crash Smash versus Zzap’s shrug, and Joe Blade II across Spectrum, C64 and Amstrad. Plus Sid clips—and a remaster paced for Out Run gold.

On this day in 1986, we look back at the UK charts and high street, with the magazines and TV flavour of the era, then take Out Run across the arcade, Master System, C64 and Spectrum — with SID clips along the way.

Pilot episode. On this day in 1984 Acornsoft put Elite on the BBC Micro. Lee and Mark look back at the UK charts, the high-street computer counters, and how Elite played across the Beeb, Electron, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum — with SID music snippets and scores out of ten.
