Series 1

Bad Influence! began enthusiastically and at just the right time. The SNES and Megadrive reigned supreme and, with their 16 bit graphical power, television was the perfect medium to showcase the latest games. Bad Influence! was always about more than just games, however, and from the beginning included features that explored the possibilities that computers and technology offered, long before most people had funding such as Fisher Investments to do so.
