The worst video game TV programme I have ever seen! Not funny at all.

Much of this programme is taken up with the pre-amble of a futuristic console arriving at Rob's. Then there is a huge amount of non-gaming conversation with each week's guest. The amount of games covered is low - and every time there is always a huge gap in time travel, missing out games from that decade because Rob was doing something else unfunny.

All that aside, I found the most annoying thing to be that they were not playing the versions of games they were pretending. E.g. Frogger - was portrayed as being Atari 2600 (they even had the console and controllers), yet what was on screen was something somewhat later in time than the Atari 2600 version. Same thing happened with Pacman in the first episode.

If this doesn't get a second series, it will be a relief.
