Sad to hear about Norm. He was one of those actors that appeared in or voiced in so many different shows over the years. He will be truly missed. Leaves a big hole in The Orville.

Sir Clive Sinclair, the gloriously mad bastard who gave us the Spectrum, has died.

Such a shame, the Speccy was awesome, spent many hours enjoying F1 manager on it (real name was Formula Grand Prix).

RIP in peace. So many good memories of getting magazines with the codes with games on, patiently entering the them only for it to fail as you missed an entire line or transposed a number. Calling the writers banana splits and storming off to calm down and try again.

I'm probably only playing videogames (and by extension on this site) due to Sir Clive's barmy little black box. RIP to an absolute legend of the UK gaming industry.

strawberry floating hell, Daley Thompson is trending on Twitter, and I feared the worst. That would be a terrible double whammy for today.

But he’s trending because Sir Clive has died, and everyone’s tweeting about Decathlon!

I remember those kids in the playground. I say kids but there was only ever one Amstrad owner.

In a shock to nobody, Ad7 reveals himself as an Amstrad kid.
