  1. Vice City is set in the 80's when that sort of font and colour scheme was common, it's part of the retro style. Though seeing as GTA's creators have been known to pay homage to the shows they grew up with and they were originally a computer club in the early 80's I wouldn't be surprised if they were fans of Micro Live and based the Vice City logo on it.

  2. It's almost as if all of the other BBC video channels, radio stations and websites cater to a wide audience...

  3. In the late 80's the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST were leaps and bounds ahead of other computers, even PCs and Apple Macs. Those two ruled the roost until the 90's when Windows 3 showed that PCs were the future and micro computers were the past.

  4. That still required the internet though, what people consider the internet today is actually the web. The internet is the backbone of interlinked hardware going as far back as the late 60's while the web is the mass of tangled software that has ran on it since 1991.
