Xbox vs Galaxian

Many of you will know that I get a little fucked off from time to time with the endless Rough Trade comparisons but quite amazingly no sooner do I decide to bring in my old Galaxian machine to the shop in time for the Festival than I get a tweet telling me of RT’s plans to dedicate Saturday mornings to family Xbox games. Anyway soon mums and dads will be able to bribe the younger kids with chocolate let the older ones rummage through the posters and treat themselves to a proper computer game at the back of the shop.  I can maybe stretch to a free Caramac for anybody setting a high score !
