# haha
I was playing with one in Maplins just before Xmas. My 8yo daughter was really embarrassed!

Hoh-heeh-hoh-hohe

# After a 30 year wait, I finally had one for Christmas :D
I love it!

My daughter was like, "But dad, where's the remote control?"

# how the hell did they make a comeback?
I remember really wanting one of them for Xmas when I was a kid, and feeling bitterly disappointed when I didn't get it..

# I had the trailer too.....
Actually, I must have a retro night sometime ... the atari games console still works and if I can dig out the bigtrak, all I'll need is some luminous orange tartrazine-laced squash and I'll be nine again!

# young people scare me
they have no frame of reference, the 80s never happened to them.. it's wierd :D

# Of course they happened. A long time ago..
Personally I grew up with tacky nineties crap replacing it. And now the tacky contemporary shite. So you'll probably find young people invest a decent amount of time researching modern history privately with distinctly pinkish lenses. But only in emergencies would they consider talking about it with those smelly individuals who experienced it.

# Sadly true but I prefer the latter over the former.
I spent time researching the production of it and as a result have a small but treasured collection of french comics and an interest in the never made 60's version of Dune. I'm probably a twat for those reasons.
