Series 3

The third series saw a whole new look come to the show with a new industrial style set design and rendered 3D title sequence. The show retained the same basic format although there was no longer a weekly Datablast (just a single extended Datablast at the end of the series). As a generation of 64 bit 'Super Consoles' approached, this was an exciting time for games players.
