I remember watching all these shows religiously.

Loved GM but next in line for me was Gamesworld. They had 5 different shows a week at one point if I remember correctly. Big Boy Barry was awesome.

Is it my memory failing me or did they have a segment when GamesMaster had its final episode at the end where they basically ripped into Dave Perry constantly?

Yeah there is a few bits in the last episode where Dom is taking the mickey out of Dave Perry. Bit that made me laugh as well was all the sexual innuendo with Zoe Ball.

Haha yes it's brilliant, most of it is Dom signalling his bordeom to the camera while Perry waffles on. There's also the bit wher he loses at super mario or something.

You could almost feel the pain of the poor kids who'd fail due to no fault of their own.

did anyone watch Dom and Kirk's night o plenty on paramount? It was my favorite night of the week when it was on, the famous mash and peas episode was a classic when they got diamond so annoyed.

Classic mate.

The say so at the time as to why it never returned was because it kicked off big time after they cut the camera.

You could see it coming when they started f'ing around with the darts near the end

I missed it dearly, decent sitcoms mixed in with diamond and kick acting like asshats, and SLEDGEHAMMER!!!!!

Gamesworld, a product of the time, but remember them playing streetfighter 2 over the phone... ohh dear
