Game Covers - Dominator (Commodore 64)

Warnings, S.O.S.'s and stories of total planet absorbtion had been banded around a terrified solar system for some time now but had been conveniently overlooked by spineless, so-called 'leaders'.

And now it was too late.  This was incomprehensible.  This was immense.  It's vast appetite was closing in on Earth and the putrid smell of partly digested nations hung ominously in space above a society that had refused to believe that its very existence would ever again be in question.

Who could fight?

Who would dare go inside this mutant horror and battle against its bodily defence mechanisms, to obliterate its sustaining organs, to stop its crazed hunger stampede across the universe?

Mankind needs you, the 'Dominator' ...   You need to fight ...  IT NEEDS TO FEED ...

Broadway at Christmas

Every year, around Christmas time, I pop over to Broadway to take some photographs of the stunning lights that stretch along the High Street.

In case you don't know, Broadway is a gorgeous village located in the Cotswolds about 30 miles south of Birmingham in the UK.  It's a short 10-minute drive from where I live, so I try to visit it as often as I can.

Last night, I took my daughter Sophie over there and used the opportunity to take some pictures which I thought I would share with you here.
