200 games? In one box? From a shop! My this is the kind of thing that needs investigating. But what treasures will lie within? Megadrive games? Arcade games? Who knows. It certainly won't be an NES on a chip device with 200 hilarious knock of games, will it?
Nikki and Bunty play all 200 games in one session! - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/544786259

Everyone's talking about pop music. But what happens when the twin worlds of Computer Games and Pop Music collide. ChinnyVision looks at 5 Pop Acts that tried to transition into pixels with varying degrees of success.
