The earlier you find prostate cancer, the easier it is to treat. So it's about time you checked your risk online.

@TeamYouTube As a company which uses YouTube myself, I am incredibly alarmed that this genuine creator channel @spectrumtinted was terminated without giving a reason. Can you please give us a *non-automated* response as to how to appeal this decision which is clearly in error?

It will be a sad day when we lose contact with the Voyagers - they’ve been communicating with us from deep space since I was 9 years old! I watched them launch, watched them arrive at Jupiter, Saturn and, in the case of Voyager 2, Uranus and Neptune. I remember when Voyager 1 returned the Pale Blue Dot photograph. They feel like old friends and I do occasionally think about them out there in the darkness. Contact with Voyager 1 was lost and then re-established earlier this week using the low power S-band transmitter on the spacecraft that had not been used since 1981! Astonishing. That’s before Duran Duran released the Rio album :-) !!

I intend Worms DC 1.5 to be a celebration of the Amiga and the scene around it, as without the Amiga none of this would have been possible.
Here is the announcement from Rodney of the demo group TBL about our plans:

40 years ago, Ultimate was advertising this incredible isometric arcade adventure. Knight Lore was a technical tour-de-force that had huge impact and influence on the 8-bit scene, inspiring many clones and variants. Basically, this was what "AAA" games looked like in 1984.

Latest build of #AtariSTE FASTER (formerly "50fps racer") running on real hardware - an 8MHz Atari STE with 1 meg of RAM. The closest to Super Scaler you can get on your STE!
Note the new smoothly scaling lampposts. Speedo code has just been rebuilt to use less CPU/Blitter time.

Game Boy Tetris is 35 today. As far as I'm concerned, it's the definitive version. Super-minimal with just a few fab extras, brilliant controls, you could take it anywhere, and it played perfectly. Even had two-player head-to-head via a DMG-04. Absolute all-timer. Period.

We've reached Issue 30 (can you believe it?). Also 30 this year is the final Commodore Amiga, the A4000T, so we take a look at its influence over the pond and some of the unusual places it was successful.
Mag out now at shop.amiga-addict.com, or in stores from today! #Amiga

Nobody born since October 1939 has undertaken National Service in the UK. Those people are now aged at least 85. This policy is aimed at winning the votes of people who never did National Service themselves but who want to force others to do it.
BREAKING: Rishi Sunak says he will bring back National Service if Tories win general election

40 years ago, Ultimate took its mag ads in a super-minimal (and utterly iconic) direction. It had built such an immense reputation, all it took was an ad featuring the game and company logo, and we were all racing down to our local software shop to ask about its release date.
