What's Gary up to these days?

[ascolti]

That's extraordinary. Manchester is almost unrecognisable compared to now. Only the office block of the Arndale is still present. Gone are the gas towers, replaced by modern glass apartment blocks. Amazing.

I wonder though if Gary Bracey still has that out of date hairstyle!

[gollumondrugs]

@retronostalgic Interesting question! Was it out of date in 1990?

[retronostalgic]

@gollumondrugs - Yeah! Looks like something from the 70's or early 80's!

[concorde244]

Yep, Bluechip computers in Allerton Rd. I went in with my tape recorder because my games would not load. (Ah there's a term from the 80's).. He asked me to bring my tape recorder in and nearly through me out due to the disgusting condition I let my recorder get into. Had more fluff in there than a teddy bear lol.. They were the days eh!

Gary Bracey used to sell games from a video shop on Childwall Fiveways in Liverpool, who then moved on to Allerton Road with his own shop called Bluechip or something like that. I think he wrote a adventure game with the same name, which had some interesting remarks if you swore.

I liked how messy Gary Bracey's office was

Notice how they all say computers, even for consoles. Nowadays they say consoles, even for computers.

It's probably cos consoles took over Europe in the 1990s.

Stryder Hiryu! That game is very frustrating!

I grew up with these games, Rambo, Head Over Heels and the best footie game at the time Match Day II
