It's Venom's 20th Birthday this month! We’ve been bringing awesome accessories to gamers for TWO decades. 1999 was a brilliant year for gaming, film, music, TV and popular culture. Here’s a list of our favourite things that are also enjoying their 20th birthday this year. How many do you remember?

Because who didn’t love waiting half an hour for a song to download, only to find a Spanish radio presenter speaking over the best bit of the chorus?

Crash Team Racing

This hit cart racer is getting the remaster treatment later on this year.

The actor was cast in The Walking Dead at the tender age of 10, so almost definitely scarred for life.
