Someone mentioned Game Over. I remember reading an article in Microhobby about the controversy of this inlay, and that it was censored in Britain, arguing 'a pair of good reasons'.
The advert on the left was the spanish version; on the right, the english one...
My missus told me that some men's magazine wanted to do a photoshoot to replicate the infamous Game Over cover (alogn with other risque game covers) and wanted her to be the girl (this was before she quit modelling for teaching) - it would have had her in the skimpy bra for one photo, and the other without. Needless to say, she refused to do it. (I don't know if they ended up doign the feature because I don't read men's mags)

"It's another true story................."
I don't care if this is true or not - this post is priceless!
"(I don't know if they ended up doing the feature because I don't read men's mags)"
I generally don't read them as a rule - I read one once out of intrest (mainly because it was a special issue with a feature on Casino Royale and I collected most magazines which covered it) and found it a whole load of crap.
Also, I don't particually want my kids to find them and between the three of them, they're in every part of the house.

Yeah, and mel only wanks a lot cos he's intrigued by the density of his sperm...
My cousin got caught with a ton of Zoos adn Nuts by my mother (who according to a neighbour) went ballistic! Needless to say, there was a bonfire in the garden that evening.

Zoo and Nuts are barely top shelf material, you're lucky if there's an arse or a nipple in an issue. Although I would've burned them more for the written content as it's utter crap really :lol:
zoo and nuts are for men who want to appear to be straight.
i don't care for all those mags, they are like the lynx adverts which say you can pull women by wearing deoderant, or the alcohol that is for real men who hang around with each other in bars looking like date rapists.
they always seem vaugly racist too, the ones that i have flicked through tend to be extremly white.
I mean a proper razz mag will always have a bit if color thrown in. :)

Well if you want to go there they would cater to other things besides just race, amputee models, big girls, hairy girls etc....maybe the demographic of readers are ones that like white chicks?...that's not really racist but a preference.

yeah your right, porn magas are discriminitory too. never really thought of it like that.
Why do you have Adult mags in every part of house if you don't read them? :lol:
I don't have adult magazines in the house! I said I don't have them in the house because I don't want my kids to see them! I've read one or two in teh past (what sort of man wouldn't have read at least one in their past) but besides from one I read by chance when I was 13, I'd not really had any intrest in them.
My cousin only buys Zoo and Nuts because the people at teh shop won't sell him the top shelf material and my mother (who looked after him since his mother died) thinks anything that shows so much as a female nipple is evil!

...there is that 'reading' thing again..wtf?
You're right of course, with the advent of DVDs and redtube who needs magazines anymore.
I once got that arseways as a kid and said "I wasn't reading it - I was just looking at the pictures..."
My sister(older) and her friend just pissed themselves laughing and they took the mag off me - so I suppose my mate probably got in some trouble since it was his dads :lol:
I also had the Game Over poster that Your Sinclair gave away on my bedroom wall until 1990ish. I thought it was a great poster - one of my favourite posters ever..........

One of my mates left a sweatmag he'd got from somewhere at my house when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I was staying at my cousins house so my mother being the sneak she was when I was younger decided to "tidy my room" for me when I wasn't there, which basically meant she went through my room throwing away things which she thought were crap that I didn't want to get rid of (she did that to me a load when I was younger, which really pissed me off). Well obviously she found the mag, but she didn't say anything to me about it, but my stepdad had to give me a lift home because my gran got an earlier bus home as she wasn't feeling well.
Well this bellend decided to try and give me the birds and bees chat on the way home, I think he was more embarressed than I was. But him and my ma obviously didn't believe that the mag wasn't mine, which once again really got on my nerves as it was a crappy cheap mag like Fiesta or something and the women in it were so nasty they weren't worth looking at, other than for comedy value.
It was a gruesome mag though which me and my mate did have a good laugh at, if I remember correctly there was a fat old woman in it who was about 65 years old and was covered in ketchup, or was it baked beans or were they 2 different things in the same mag.
Like I said thing that got me gutted was getting caught with an awful mag like that, and having my ma think the worst when it was far from 5 knuckle material anyway :lol:
i know people say that the internet has taken over from porn mags but you can't drag the PC into the toilet when the wifes family have come to stay. not without arousing some suspision anyway.

You could use a palmtop, which is a perfectly named computer when it comes to that type of activity :lol:

Don't give Mel any ideas, lol, although knowing him, he probably already has one loaded with teh stuff and a nice shelf in the bathroom in which to put the stuff on.
But, getting back to the game covers.. I never had games with covers like them, at the time, my mother brought the majority of my games. I did have Barbarian but that was a pirate from a mate.
I remember one (unpleasent) trip to my dad adn stepmothers house - my (then IIRC) 16 year old stepbrother (I was 9 at the time) came home with Barbarian for the C64 and dear stepmother (what a cow) really went to town on him for it.

But Your Sinclair also gave away a folded poster of the original advert:

There is also a fourth one, which oliver Frey altered for advertising in Crash magazine:

I was going to upload the definitive fifth one, which zxspecticle altered 5 mins ago and then thought better of it!

What's Redtube? Never heard of that. Is it an adult version of Youtube?
I always use the phrase 'reading' when it comes to magazines/books.
