you have three stats

Would making use of any of this for a new Mothership scenario be overkill? yes

But am I furiously making notes? also yes

Hands up if you were lucky enough to unwrap these at Christmas in 1987?

I would love to write something for someone at some point about the kind of weird ultra domestic settings/themes that an oddly high number of actual 80s UK computer games featured

a screenshot of text from Wikipedia: The supposed developer and publisher Gardensoft were introduced as "a brand new publishing house that looks set to carve quite a niche for itself in the simulations market", and the piece claimed that they were going to release more games in the coming months, including a spring-cleaning game, a washing-up simulator (including a drying-up simulator) and a laundrette simulator in which players supposedly have to clean bags of various colours and materials. It was also stated that Advanced Lawnmower Simulator is "ACE!" and a "Guaranteed number one!", and would cost £14.95. It was also awarded a nine out of ten and given the magazine's MEGAGAME accolade. 5 An advertisement, which described the game as "The most advanced domestic chore simulation yet to hit the home micro!" and claimed a release date of 1st April and that it would be available for purchase in garden centres, appeared in the same issue.

the best thing about this is that in the year of our Djungelskog 2025 I get sent about 10 press releases a week for games that sound almost exactly like all of these..

I simply cannot stress how much I wish Wyrd Science was successful enough that I could engage in ridiculous boondoggles like this

Foreword by...Josh McCrowell!

I spent over a year working on this magazine. I know that during the layout and copyediting stages, I read and reread every word.

But it is still so fun to read when you have it in your hands. It turned out so well!

Surely tax deductible too

Clearly next big commission you get that money should go straight on a fancy cape with a headdress to follow
