I remember wanting to try beef jerky for the longest time, it was mentioned every now and then in american media back then. So when it finally showed up in the supermarket in the city I bought it(it was expensive as hell!) and had a bite. Unforutnately, I had, as a kid, tried our dogs dry food, and knew immediately what I was eating. What a disappointment, but hey, atleast I knew exactly why you shouldn’t eat beef jerky.
Thanks for uploading George – enjoyed seeing this again. This is the only version of Robocop I’ve ever completed – I did it with a mate back in the day – no real skill involved – we simply had enough money between us! Obviously designed to fleece players of cash as it’s quite unfair with the amount of unavoidable bullets / enemies in places. As for crisps – don’t remember Riley’s, but definitely enjoyed Tudor Crisps which were popular up here in the north east. Never tried Phileas Fogg but remember the TV advert saying they were made in Medlomsley Road, Consett!
i liked tudor crisps mate they were decent ! yes robocop on the arcade seems like it’d be difficult to perfect although i bet someone somewhere has done it ! it’s quite fun playing through it with rapid fire special weapons, just really silly but you feel more like robocop i think. that always struck me as odd in the spectrum version that you can get stopped so easily by bullets and it’s weird as you don’t just take hits and lose energy you also spaz out a bit and just stand still, meaning people can stack more damage on you. i suppose that’s what makes it tough, but it’s not really that realistic. then again “robocop” and “realistic” perhaps don’t belong in the same sentence anyway lol :p
do you remember “rileys crisps” mate ? they were really weird. the salt and vinegar ones tasted cold. maybe the same chemical in it that they put in “icy” fanta when that came out. not nice at all. no matter how fresh they were, they always tasted out of date. this pub my dad always took me to had them. it was either them or scampi fries which i do really like but the crisps were much cheaper so i usually got bought them when i was hungry :p

Oh darn, my reply ended up as a new post. See above.
Not sure I do. What I really crave are Phileas Fogg crisps, especially those mignons morceaux. A sort of garlic crouton type thing.
This site covers Rileys:
yes they were good mate i used to drop them in bachelors cream of chicken cup a soup :-p very exotic !
I remember Robocop arcade from the local Rileys snooker hall. That’s also where I first played Shinobi.
