Perhaps the single best thing about the original Game Zone was the picture that built up slice by slice on the spine, so that after 12 months you had a photograph of John-Boy Walton.

The planning and effort put into a joke you'd only get by buying every issue for a year showed a loving care and exuberant copyright-flaunting silliness that influenced me greatly.

I campaigned vigorously for another mystery picture when Game Zone reappeared, but breathtakingly missing the point, what came out was one issue with an elongated screenshot of Mr Nutz on the side.
