The original show also had different formats during the week, called The Peep Parlour, which was a computer-designed peep-parlour where videogamers would ask for advice from "The Games Mistress" related to their video game playing queries, and featured Diane Youdale, better known as Jet from Gladiators, and a selection of other characters. Winners received a Games World bomber jacket, whilst the overall series winner would receive an arcade machine.īob Mills was the presenter for the show's original run, along with "GamesAnimal" Dave Perry, Jeremy Daldry and Tim Boone. Every Friday, a single winner from the previous day staked points on various matches at differing games, and would go up against various cartoonish characters known as "Videators". The main body of the show took place on Mondays and Wednesdays, and was an elimination contest between several youngsters over several different video games, where winners would go on to Friday's edition.
