On July 5th Sky Sports acquired the rights for the Republic of Ireland’s home internationals over the next four years.

Geoff Crammond is a genius. In 1989 Microprose released Stunt Car Racer to universal acclaim on the C64, Amiga, Atari ST, and Speccy. He’s gone on to produce his GP games but this is my favourite racing game of all time, bar none. Even 13 years after buying it I’m still coming back to this game. wow! Fire up Vice and play the classic C64 version to relive the stresses and strains of driving along a roller coaster of a track!
