Wanted: GB Action magazine
Looking for issues 10 to 20/21 (not sure of the exact issues) of GB Action magazine, basically anything from the 1992-93 period. Bit of a long shot as it seems to be quite rare but hoping somebody has them!

Re: Is "Pit-Fighter" the worst..
I've always found it to be a pretty solid game. Thought Rise Of The Robots was far worse!

Re: Your old stuff that still works?
Our famiy's Electrolux 350E vacuum cleaner - we've had it for pretty much my whole life (since the early 80s) and it still gets used every week without any problems.

Re: Answering the phone.....
Personal calls - just 'hello?' (making sure I raise the pitch of my voice on the last syllable to suggest a question!)
Work - '<Department name>, Andy speaking' (I never get calls from people in external organisations)

Re: Sega Game Gear Screenshot Challenge
22. Far tougher than the Amiga quiz even though I had a Master System which shared some of the same games!

Re: tennis games
Played Top Ranking Tennis on the Game Boy to death (which wasn't that great in retrospect). Smash Tennis on the SNES and Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast were great, loved the minigames of the latter especially.

Re: Stuff you want to try even though you'd suck at it.
I wouldn't mind trying martial arts and learning some self-defence techniques but would almost certainly make an idiot of myself attempting them!
