    I felt sorry for some of the contestants on it. There was a guy that seemed to be really good at games but was quite arrogant about it. The challenges he had to do were all crap games and he ended up losing on some awful SNES Tazmania game. I hope it wasn't you.

    The reviews were pretty naff as well, I remember one review praising the music by 2Unlimited in Biometal on the SNES. Oh the 90s!

    It was pretty cringey stuff. It was me and two others the time I was on it. Playing some Looney Toons game first, two of us got to the final.

    The final was FIFA and I lost to a girl. I was the only person in my group of friends who never played footy games so none of them were surprised.

    I just remembered when they came to our school looking for contestants, there was a quiz you had to complete and I got picked on the basis of that.

    I only played games in my mates house as I has no games system at home.

    I knew all the answers because I could read the games magazines at home so knew everything about the games but was crap at playing them!

    They used to have a thing they would shout that I always thought it was 'Hey gimme my makeup', but I think it was 'Hey gonna be mega' or something like that. They also used to play Zombies on the SNES, remember that distinctly.
