  • This used to be advertised all the time in 8000 Plus magazine. I never actually got round to playing it, though. The PCW was pretty good for text adventures (90 x 32 screen) but I got Hitchhiker's Guide (Infocom) instead and that took up so much time I didn't have any left for this!

  • @Loganberrybunny Thanks for your comments. I've recently got some more 8256 games and will do some vids soon. Nice to meet someone who also has happy memories of this computer :)

  • Got to love the green screen!

  • @Lorfarius I don't mind the colour so much, it's the bloody ear-splitting sound effects on this computer that I hate. I remember my dad put a plastic film over the screen of his PCW to give it a blue screen - ah a simpler time :)
