Some more details, including Dizzy the egg and Lemmings
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/51012498 I loved 'Dizzy the egg' on the Mega Drive/Genesis games console. There was a whole series of games for this 2D platform game. There was one famous case of 'Dizzy the egg fake news' being planted in games magazines, where in one scene at the far end of the 'map' there was a pier, and it said in the magazine (before the internet existed) that if you waited for three hours in real time, a boat would arrive and Dizzy could get to a secret island LOL. I watched that screen for hours and nothing happened |

What I question is their choice of images:- TR Lost Valley/TRex - spot on. TR3 First section of Tinnos - odd choice. TR5 Underwater suit from Deepsea Dive - very odd TR2013 is that actually from the game? Looks like conceptual artwork. For the second stamp I'd have gone for one of Kali statue fights in India or, being a UK stamp, something from the London levels. Perhaps Thames Wharf with the St.Pauls alike cathedral in the background or anywhere on the Underground (Aldwych). I wouldn't have gone for TR5 at all; TR4 with Land Rover in the desert and, more fitting?, something from TR: Anniversary instead of TR 2013. |
