It's hard to look at anything from that era without reading a little too much into it. Take this gallery of foreign computing magazines for example...
The past is a different country. When I was growing up, nobody thought anything of a creepy middle-aged male entertainer dressed in a silver Bacofoil suit surrounding himself with children. Of course, revelations in recent years have demonstrated that nothing from the 70s, 80s and 90s is to be trusted. It's hard to look at anything from that era without reading a little too much into it. Take this gallery of foreign computing magazines for example... KURT "Oh, hello. Willkommen to my private room." ANNIKA "Come along, my dear. We have much work to complete." KLAUS-PETER "Klaus-Peter is so excited to see you!" HERWIG "Your chatter is distracting. Herwig should never have let you out of der cellar." ELINA & LUDGER "Shall we get nude together?" IDA & UDO "Oh, hello. We were just talking about you..." VALTER "Valter is feeling very excited today." JURGEN "Jurgen will be with you in one moment. Please. Remove your robe. It is time for you to become comfortable." NINA & GERT "We hope you are ready to have ein good time, okay? Did you remember to bring der special things?" ARNDT "Please follow Arndt into der special room. No shoes, thank you. Arndt is trying to protect der carpet."

Is The Annika issue reviewing something called the ZX Spectrum: Penetrator?

Used to love Penetrator, despite the dodgy name and the fact that not long after entering the "tunnel" I'd mess up and it'd be all over.

I might be wrong, but Klaus Peter's tie appears to be defying gravity, unless he's jumping backwards over the speccy and flicking his head downwards.

Nah, Annika is carrying the Dragon 32 so she's reviewing the 'Star Jammer' which sounds like a euphemism for a butt plug!

Udo kind of looks like a vintage pornstar version of David Mitchell.

Nina is clearly about to murder "Gert".

Just one of the many such murders at the ZX Microfair that year.

Since the comments section has turned into spot the look-a-like I think Valter's real name may be Paul Foot.

Also Jurgen has a hint of Tom Hanks about him and Elina is Lorraine Kelly. Gert is looking familiar too. I'm trying to picture him without the moustache. It's like when Vic and Bob disguise celebrities as Hitler.

So, that's what Lou Reed from Little Britain does when he's not looking after Andy

Stewart Lee (Jürgen) has let himself go a bit. Also: Kurt reminds me of my memory of Weird Al Yankovic. Klaus-Peter = that one from Blur. Does cheese and David Cameron.

I think we can all agree this proves Commodore owners are the sexy motherfuckers.
