Re: RWAP

D-Day MKII remains a firm favourite - even I enjoyed playing it despite having coded large portions of it. I have even heard from some of the people that used to work for Dagenham Design Cell who did the original coding over the years. It's a shame no-one ever really got involved in playing it two p...

Re: RWAP

QL Adventurer's Forum was a great magazine with plenty of good adventures coming out of the CGH stable as a result (Alan Pemberton, Oliver Neef and Jean-Yves Rouffiac were great authors).

I ought to introduce myself really for some of those who have not come across me before. I learnt to program on the ZX81, when I purchased the computer from my elder brother in 1982 (he upgraded to a Spectrum) and was soon up to my armpits learning the basics of Z80 assembly language (my brother had...

A few delivery companies have stopped delivering to Russia and former eastern bloc countries, due to issues with them being held...
