For those of you too young to remember, Digitiser was an awesome gaming magazine available on Teletext. Teletext was a completely unawesome way of seeing basic text pages on your TV and (until TVs came out that cached pages) annoyed you by switching pages more quickly than you could read them.
Digitiser was totally bonkers with many pages being penned by "guest" characters such as the amazing Zombie Dave (who was basically an excuse to get expletives on to teletext under the radar) and Mr T.
It also had letters, many of which were real ones sent in by readers. Remember, this was back before internets and forums and real time stuff kids!
At one point Digitiser had a shortlived feature about ideas for educational games designed around famous historical moments.
Here's my favourite idea sent in my Rhondda Boogie (??wtf). (Note to kids: Before Syndicate was released in 2012 as an FPS, Syndicate was a revered isometric top down 3D game. If you don't understand what isometric top down 3D means then er... google?)
