  • thank you for manic miner and jet set willy. great man

  • I wrote a Speccy game back in the day called the Crystal Frog... a text adventure. I was never as talented as Matthew of course, but I can totally relate to the sleep thing. I was completely OCD and focussed on the programming and the times I say daylight through the windows and had no idea how long I'd been at it. Not good for you....
