Debuting between the launches of the Creator/{{SEGA}} [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Mega Drive]] and the {{UsefulNotes/SNES}}, the show originally had a target demographic of pre-teens, but as time went on, the show shifted to targeting teenagers and young adults instead.

* TakeThat: One of Creator/DexterFletcher’s first lines after taking over as presenter was notoriously a shot at his predecessor, Dominik Diamond.
--> '''Dexter''': ''[Holding the charred remains of Dominik’s glasses and red jacket from the previous series]'' Sadly, this poor chap burned himself out on level two.

** Dominik indicated in an interview around his return that he took particular exception to that remark, calling it "immature and unnecessary". Didn't stop him from retaliating at Dexter on several occasions. On Series 4 his trademark joke at the end of every show was to say "I'm off to (do something nasty)", which on one occasion was to... make people watch the previous series of Games Master (think you can work out which one). Later, when criticising his Series 2 attire (primarily the "Red Jacket"), he indicated it wasn't as bad as when he was temporarily morphed into a "shorter, louder character".

** Much less frequently (and equally less dramatically), but occasionally in Series 4 the returned Dominik would himself order celebrities sucking royally at a game (this time without consulting the Games Master) into the cage with the audience. (Audience members playing would be returned there no matter what the outcome, so no real punishment possible for them). This was the last of the punishments in the original series as they were abolished in Series 5 (until the reboot).

** In Series 2, the Diver who awarded winners with joysticks would occasionally also escort particularly dreadful challengers into the smoke filled pit she appeared from. This was only however done in exceptional cases and Dominik would consult GM himself for a final decision to do this. On one occasion a girl was released the following week by her boyfriend winning a challenge.
