No they didn't. We actually thought they were computers back then, even if they were only used for playing games. Ah, the joys of waiting 20 minutes for Donkey Kong to load from an audio cassette
Indeed. The term Console would have arrived thanks to Nintendo and Super Mario Bros finding it's way into the Uk along with the little upstart Sega. C64 was out and about with the ZX Spectrum and required you waiting an eternity for the tape to load up and then only with about a 50% success rate as it would crash about 5 clicks from the end on the counter. Amstrad had some horific green screen alternative - why? I've got to say I've found it all a little slow in comparison to the film, but I suppose that should be expected given it's a series. Just expected it to be a bit more up and at you sooner. |

Not sure when the term console was first used, but the NES and Master System weren't the first of their type in the UK. The Atari 2600 was popular here and there were various fixed game systems (mainly Pong derivatives) before that as well.

I remember friends having c64s and spectrums but don't remember console being used until the nes and master system starting hitting off.

I don't understand how Combo found Sean's house when it was mentioned a few minutes earlier that they'd moved.
He must have asked someone who knew him. Or could have looked him up in the phone book. They might mention it next episode. |

Maybe we should have a This Is England '86 + 1 thread so we can talk about the piano music scenes during the advert breaks without spoilering ourselves.
