Thanks for showing a few of my photos Kim ♥️

A day's work done, a cold beer and a new Kim Justice video. Life's good.

Wow, I really don’t know what to say…. I am a huge collector of the Hit Squad, was very lucky to complete the C64 set and not far off the amstrad and spectrum set although I doubt I’ll find those last couple to complete them. Thank you so much for including my pictures in the video, I’ve watched your channel for such a long time and to feature in one that is about my favourite collection is absolutely amazing. Great work as ever, absolutely loved the video, just great stuff all round and as always I look forward to the next one!

Oh Kim, that 'got, got, need' quote kicked me right in the nostalgia bits. I hadn't thought of those swapsie moments in decades, thank you!

you are doing gods work kim! love seeing your channel and skills continually growing throughout the years - great research, concept and execution - thank you for the hard work and for always pushing yourself to give us better and better content!

I'm 34. I've loved video games since I was given my NES. I've been learning all I can about them over the last 20 years and it's always fun to discover new games and consoles. And I find it fascinating how it seems each region had it's own idea of video games. I grew up with cassette tapes as music! It would have blown my tiny little mind back then to learn video games could also come on cassette tape!😂

Nothing like a new kim justice video. This is one that has so many memories to me as i thought hit squad was its own label as a kid simply as we had so many of them at one point since i inherited my c64 in 89/90

Love the supermarket ads at the start from Jersey! “Benest’s of Millbrook and Fine Price!”

Wow! Brilliant, top class video! Many thanks again! The Hit Squad games I had on C64 were IK+, Target Renegade, Batman, Rastan, Operation Thunderbolt, The New Zealand Story, Bad Dudes vs Dragon ninja, Salamander, Renegade III and Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters

I loved how many shops used to sell games back then. Newsagents, petrol stations, supermarkets, chemists, grocers.... a rack of cassettes for £1.99-£2.99 was such a common sight back in the late 80s.

Another excellent video, thanks Kim. For someone like me who remembers these games, going down the newsagents and browsing the racks etc. The nostalgia overload is almost overwhelming. But to have all those dusty corners of mystery filled in via your top notch research, it's a very satisfying watch.

I never owned a Speccy, C64 or the like as I started with the Master System but I always love these videos focusing on this era & These consoles. It's a part of gaming history that's often ignored.

Oh yes! I remember Hit Squad games for the Spectrum. Looking forward to watching another stellar documentary

Great stuff Kim. Mastertronic next please, and although possibly a bit niche, growing up in Spain in the late 80's can we have the story of Erbe please?

I love the way that Kim actually approaches these videos from a proper/solid journalistic way. Excellent stuff (as usual) Kim. It’s an absolute pleasure to watch these + see how you improve in both research + presentation with each new instalment. Can’t wait for the day when you finally turn your full attention to the brilliant Amstrad CPC-464 + also the story/games of Amsoft. I’m sure with your skills + way of doing these you’d do it “justice”. Looking forwards to the next one, best wishes etc...

Hi Kim just wanted to say thanks - you bring back so many memories from when I had a speccy as a kid and then an Amiga 500... I don't collect now or anything but your videos awaken such happy memories!! Your presentation and commentary style is excellent too 👍

Another excellent video Kim. Most of my speccy collection was from various budget publishers, full price games only really showed up at Christmas. As others here have mentioned, would love to see a video on Mastertronic.

Always good to see a new Kim Justice video.

Another cracking video, been binge watching your last 3 videos (SNES Football games, and the 2 Konami videos) over the past few days and this was another fantastic video. The amounts of budget titles I bought for the Spectrum and Amiga that were either Hit Squad, Kixx and to some extent Ricochet. It was a great way of collecting re-released full prices titles at an affordable price for kids like me who didn't have too much to spend until I got my fist part time job
