well for you younger or non uk based guys, here is a bit of a history lesson...... Bullseye was a darts based tv gameshow here in the uk between 1981-1995, in 1981 it was made by atv and from 1982 onwards was made by central tv and filmed in Birmingham, and later in Nottingham. Anyway long story short I love it as it was a part of my childhood, while tuning in our new (to us) tv, i came across this gem on the prize board  this particular episode is from season 11 (late 1991), I have worked this out as season 10 was broadcasted up until march 1991 and cyber shinobi was an april 1991 release |

I watch Bullseye on Challenge TV sometimes and I've seen a few retro systems on there (including an Atari 65XE). I always like watching the prize board and hearing Jim say things like "Amaze your friends with this state-of-the-art ghetto blaster!"

The prizes on Bullseye are so pikey! That lot probably came to about £150-180 at the time so is one of the better prizes!
"Here's a speedboat, just what everyone living in Barnsley wants!"

There was a reason for the inconsistent prizes, there was actually a limit per series on the prize fund. Near the end of the series the star prize would be a collection of prizes that hadn't been won and were a similar category.
Its a home entertainment system, record tokens, a colour tv with teletext and a remote control vcr
At the start of the series the prize would have been a ford fiesta or Vauxhall nova

Or even a sandwich maker was a luxury for some
This program that flatapex refers to was aired this night on challenge again and was surprised to see the SMS on it great stuff.

Makes me chuckle when Jim described the car as a mini metro- noooo the metro itself was branded a mini metro in 80 and 81 and if you ever see an 80 or 81 model in original condition it has a different badge on the back that says mini metro |
