User Reviews

A fun show

During the mid nineties, there were two equally good programmes about computer games; Gamesmaster on channel four and this one, which was shown on CITV. What I liked about Bad Influence was, in addition to the usual reviews and cheats, there were some very educational features on how to use computer software, histories of consoles, how games were actually made and so on, including a reference to the infamous flop that was the ET computer game. It was also good because it was clear Violet Berlin (who still hosts many computer game related shows), Andy and others knew what they were talking about; and they could connect with the audience well. Plus I found Nam Rood pretty funny, and Violet and Andy had good chemistry together. I also enjoyed All in all, a show I look back on with fond memories.
