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!).

A final (so far!) series was made in October 2003 by [[Ed Jellard]] with a different format to previous years.  Unlike the {{unsure|first three series}} it was made once a week rather than all over a weekend, however it only lasted a couple of episodes due to the immense amount of time it took to set up each week.
