Well I think it's a classic, always makes me laugh and Mr Biffo's attitude to videogaming is spot on, also it features the untouchable fountain of journalistic bile that is Stuart Campbell :-)

Digitiser kicks bottom, cos they're so rude. I can't abide Stuart
Campbell though, I remember his Top 100 Spectrum games from ages ago
and his #1 was crap.

Classic, merely because I am the most sluggish consumer of video
games in the world and yet I read it every day. It never fails to
amuse, and writing a piece of both amusing and informative journalism
where your word limit is 100 per page must be nigh on impossible.
Stuart Campbell is a bit of a knob though. Fat Sow is merely the
computer world Tanya.

Not read Digitiser regularly for ages (modern games all seem to be
Quake clones, which bore me, for consoles, which I don't have), so I
don't really feel qualified to offer any verdict on Digi in general,
but their letters page reveals: CLASSIC. The final (?)
Reveal-O-
Morse, in particular, is possibly the most classic thing ever to
have appeared on a teletext page. I laugh hysterically for several
weeks afterwards every time I think of it. Er, maybe that's just me.
Also, saying, "Do you see?": classic, although probably extremely
irritating when someone else does it to you (unless it's an obvious
Digi allusion).
My limited experience of the Digitiser IRC channel a long time ago
suggests that it's a dud, best not ventured into if you're female or
over 14 (or at least not if you're foolish to admit either of these
facts). Sulk.
I appear to have spent a worryingly large fraction of the time since
I got back from lunch trying to make HTML ASCII-art reveal-o-morses.
I hope I remember not to copy them to the server along with the
intranet pages I'm doing.
