I wonder if the tape archive goes back to the original regional shows. I remember watching the first episode with John Asher and Chris Tarrant, and from memory it was ATV only, rather than national.
My brother entered a competition, and won a Bee Gees album. It would be worth the look on his face to be able to see that again.
I've seen Amalur for sale in the local EB Games, for I think ~NZ$70. I'm unsure about buying it mostly because I have no idea if there's any call-home DRM in place or servers left to call home to.
If I buy it, will it run?
Two nice standardly spaced symmetric holes, the punch centred pretty well on the 5.25" disc.
I never got one out to check if the holes overlapped the platter - I was a fresh-faced junior, my elders and betters didn't seem worried, and I was reminded that it wasn't my place to speak to the client. But even if the punch missed the platter, it was another way for dust / water / platter-eating moths to get at it.
Ooh, floppy discs. Back in the day, one of our clients used to do nightly backups and file the floppies. By that I mean punch holes in them and put them in ring-binders.
We never had to test whether they still worked.
I don't have it to hand to refer to, but didn't Galactic Civilizations (or maybe it was GC 2) do something like this? Use records of players' gameplay to update the AI and then send out updates?

I still remember playing this on my Dad's TRS-80. Galactic Empire and Galactic Trader too. A more simple time.

Not new in New Zealand either. We went to Monday / Wednesday / Friday or Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday in July 2015.
A paper cut.

I treated 99/00 as a dress rehearsal for 00/01, now I'm just waiting for the next one.
Then there's .com.au, which I see a lot of around here for Australian sites, such as Ford's http://www.ford.com.au/.

And it just looked so wrong.
