Games Disaster was Paul Soulsby's brainchild - a computer games tournament in which different teams competed over several episodes for a final prize. Paul made two series - one in 1999 and the second in 2000. He also wrote the title music. The first series was a conventional Games Master style setup with two teams playing against each other, whilst the second introduced a more glossy feel and was hosted by a computerised voice.
It was revived for a third series in Autumn 2002 by Michael Prior-Jones with an attempt at a more Sci-Fi look and feel (the title sequence was an obvious Red Dwarf rip-off!). The new look title sequence and graphics which appeared in this season and then reused for the subsequent one were designed by Matt Hammond.
Series 2 and 3 can be seen on the YSTV website, and there are also photos from Series 2 and Series 3 in the YSTV archive.
