Third from the left, in the third bottom row there's a "big box" game
featuring a bloke with a gun and a car, looking very "Mad Max 2"-like.

What is it?

Okay, thanks to Jeff as well...

I couldn't believe it when I saw it had gone from a fiver up to £40. But
then I noticed that it's less than 15p per tape, which is fair enough
actually.

No, they only make Freddie Mercury's rockin' world go round, and as he's
been dead for - *SPOOK!* exactly ten years today, pop pickers! - they
weren't much use against the Grim Reaper.

Well, let's see...

If E = mc^2, we get m = E / c^2 , and therefore 25x10^3 J is equivalent to
2.7x10^-13 kg.

There are 2.20462 pounds in a kilogram, so 2.7x10^-13 kg is equal to
6.1x10^-13 lb.

6.1x10^-13 pounds = £0.00000000000061.

Ah, good to see people charging sensible prices at last.
