Apologies to the Buzzcocks!
Today I downloaded a Kindle Fire/Android version of "The Lords of Midnight", a Sinclair ZX Spectrum game, which fittted into a 48K Spectrum with room to spare. In 1984-1985 or so, when, after three years at art college, I was on the dole in the grim North East of England, this game allowed me to escape and subsequently survive weeks and months of horrible reality. I personally credit it with being one of the top 2 most creaitve and inventive computer games I have ever played (the other being "Knight Lore" by Ultimate Play the Game). 48K; bugger me!
Imagine my horror at discovering today that the author, Mike Singleton, passed away last year. I'm gutted. We need new heroes.
