Jason Robertson - the man who rummages down the backs of YOUR sofas - has provided us with yet another classic edition of Digitiser, not seen for 23 of your English years.

This time we've a bumper weekend instalment, featuring Violet Berlin and the first part of an interview with Argonaut Software mogul Jez Sex (San). Interestingly, it also boasts a made-up letter by one "Danny Boyd", and an Old Game: Here that's also clearly made up, as it has been "sent in" by someone I used to sit next to at school.

Also: see if you can find the hilarious way I used to think "monkeys" was spelled. Given how frequently I'd write about moneys, it would often be the catalyst for some merriment. 

Don't forget, if you've got some old VHS tapes - especially if they contain footage of you frolicking - to let Jason know.

None of those Super FX games came out, for some reason that really made me laugh. Isn’t it funny how wrong everyone but Violet Berlin was, it’s almost like those idiots couldn’t see into the future!

Someone at Digi was a time traveller...

Just had a look at some Virtuoso footage because I'd never heard of it.

What a weird game - a mixture of recorded live-action and pre-rendered 3D sprites. The protagonist is clearly one of the developers in his 'coolest' leather jacket and shades. It must be one of the first third person shooters as we understand them today. And it's dripping with that cheesy but kind of wonderful mid-nineties DOS game aesthetic - metallic fonts, abstract shapes and midi music piped through a bassy Roland sound card.

Doesn't look like remotely fun to play but technically it's quite the thing.

I'm not just saying this to 'curry' 'favour', but old Digi is genuinely even funnier than I remember it. We were lucky scamps back in those days...

Once again the SNES outdoes the Mega Drive with a 1% higher score for an NBA JAM game. What was it about Nintendo that they could manage to wring just that little bit of extra quality from arcade basketball simulators? And yet the Mega Drive version outsold the SNES. What was wrong with you people?

I love the Top 10s so much that I'm going to go on the record now:

Stuart N Hardy. Now there's a name I haven't heard for a few years. He was a bit of a "character" back in the day.

Did Danny Boyd ever leave the Luton area?
