Welcome to Bad Influence!  

In the early 1990's, Bad Influence! was one of the first shows on television for computer and video games players, with a magazine-style show dedicated to game reviews, features and computer technology.

It is easy to forget just how different things were before the Internet gave us instant access to the latest tech news and every aspect of gaming from multi-player role-playing worlds to game sites such as cleopatra 2. But, back in the 1990's it was down to shows like Bad Influence! to bring this content to us. This was at a time before video games became mainstream, and when much of the media definitely considered them to be a bad influence.
