First a game that most will know from paper versions Wordsearch, here a version on themes. Second something intended for those of an age group that I represent the over 55s and this has a serious theme of what you can immediately remember.

Fancy joining the FBI? You get the opportunity in this next title as you return to your home town to investigate a series of murders.

Sometimes follow-up products arrive quickly but in this case there was a gap of years between my look at speakers from the same family.

The first is a remote control that can replace several units, even those that the dog has tried to chew because you them more attention. The second a book called Vintage Tomorrows to help us all see the possible future of technology.
