"Have a whip round and get 270 quid together"
Goddamn I miss the UK SEGA 'vibe'. Yes, it's horribly problematic nowadays and probably killed thousands of minorities, but man it was fun to have a brand relate to you like they were a man down the pub. It should've been a nightmare, but it actually worked.
Right, I'm off to find torrents of early 90's UK SEGA mags.
