Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the eighth day of our Christmas Advent Calendar. The correct answer was: 1986, with the console being released in 1983 for Japan and 1985 for North America.
Today’s calendar has now closed and our winners are: Eloise Rose (£30 meal voucher at The Dancing Man), Gabriel Leung (hoodie), Ed Weatherby (chocolate Santa). We will email all the winners separately and let them know where to pick up their prizes – Congratulations.
There are just three more days to win yourself a prize in our Christmas Advent Calendar. Good luck for tomorrow.
