Heh yeah, I don't know if you're in the UK, but we had a service called Ceefax/Teletext, which was a text based service sent through to your TV (sorry if I'm explaining obvious things)

Digitiser was the games magazine on Channel Four's Teletext service. It was about 30 pages in total, split between news, reviews, features, and letters. It was updated every day. I was the very first person to know about Sega pulling out back at school in my class because Digitiser had the news that very same day.

Digitiser was also fucking hilarious. They got pulled from air more than once due to their content constantly pushing boundaries. A feature each week had a different guest writer (all fictitious), such as Mr T (constantly shouting about people messing with his bins), Fat Sow (a pig), George Michael and Phil Mitchell from EastEnders. I genuinely miss it so much. At least we have it mostly backed up online! Here's one day during the CD32 era, including a contribution from Liam Gallagher: https://www.superpage58.com/digitiser-vault-teletext-screenshot-image-archive-2018-01-03.htm

When they finally got cancelled, they had a final message, asking you to press reveal on the remote. When pressed, it showed you the channel Four Teletext mascot, turner the worm (a pink worm), being sick (white fluid). Yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like: https://live.staticflickr.com/212/506622777_1b9520378f_z.jpg

And it was fucking insane
