    One of the best titles of 2000ad, I’ve always wondered why they didn’t get at least a short tv series or a video game , I’m from the other side of the world yet I really loved to read strontium dogs stories whenever I could get some. From second hand shops of course 😅 thanks for this beautifully made motion comic.

      Glad you enjoyed the video, being a teenager in the early 1980s, I grew up playing games like Rebelstar Raiders. By the time Laser Squad was released I had moved onto Personal Computers of the era and although I was aware this game had been released for PC, I never played it back in the day. Going back to look at this game on both the PC and ZX Spectrum it looks like a good evolution of the game and very playable; will have to give it a try on my ZX Spectrum in the Retro Attic Mancave.

      @@RetroAtticMancave I think UA-cam removed my previous reply due to sharing the World Of Spectrum URL for Laser Squad perhaps... Not sure if it will re-appear, suffice to say I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it on my 48k+ hence stumbling across the Rebelstar series, and then your excellent video describing the games, which is just what I needed! Laser Squad is well worth a look and thank you again for this video, best regards Adrian

      Anyone who grew up in the 80's and played on these 8-bit machines will have great memories of the games.

    Do an audio-book format. Read the txt and describe the pics pls. My Mum chucked mine out when they emigrated, or before; haha, I want my childhood back. I dont like 2000+ lolol

      Thanks for the positive feedback, Dan Dare was certainly one of my favorite stories in the early 2000AD years. Might consider doing a few voice over comic reviews, but in the meantime I highly recommend the Audio books produced by Big Finish.

      @@RetroAtticMancave Brilliant. Thanks. Thats the sort of channel you only get recomended, lol, you never find them on your own. Re; 2KAD, I also loved the Dan Dare spaceship saga. And what was the story when a colonist spaceship crashes onto a planet with the DEADLIEST fauna you could imagine. Also, wow man, the Future Shocks! Haha, what wasn't good about that comic?

      Thanks for the comments, spinner racks are difficult to find these days and can be expensive when available.

    Thank You for my first show interview, will try to be a little bit more polished next time. You managed a great overview of Dark Age Kingdoms Rules. Nice to meet so many friendly wargamers at the show, will try to attend again next year. Like the Show Ground, ample parking and easy access from the A1M.

      Glad you enjoyed the show Martin and thanks once again for the interview as viewers of the channel like to see these in the show reviews. I see that the Dark Age Kingdom Rules are for sale on Amazon, will have to purchase a copy and try out this game firsthand; cheers.
