Whats the game about ? Wow, erm, yeah, its got sprites , sound, scrolling, speech, five colours per square, and a free beer mat. Do you mind if I smoke ? -Not at all but tell me Dill why is the game so late ? Yeah. Wow, you see I had to get this, err, 'cos it's mine. -What's yours ? Abuser continued.... Treble Drambuey & Guiness, oh, sorry. The Spectrum is mine. We did try programing without it but we had some problems. -So exactly what programing system have you got ? We've developed a game writting program. I can't say a lot but it does have a FOR-NEXT loop, a RND & a devious POKE command. -Why is the ggame 3 years late ? Look there's a lot of numbers in that thing, if a few hundred are wrong it could ruin the playablity so it takes tttime -Yeah I see. Pass me that rolley DaRen's Page Hi I'm Daren Steward (Note one R ). I unfortunately met Darren at Hatfield Poly which is why we're so all totally wacko, ok ya, yousee. (Speak for yourself - Darren) From then on I helped him design and build screens for the Super-duper dug dig, dig dug game. Even though he calls me a PEST! (Lies Lies-Darr) Anyway if you name is Sam Fox & you -DELETED- ring Daren on Ramsey 841735 Bye Bye Comp. If you completed dte the hard way within 2 months of release write to me ,Darren, INCLUDING a route march of how to do the second to last screen in your letter and if your the first I will send you something cheap or sentimental to do with dte.

Time 12.40 (Night) 5.11.86 I hope you enjoyed dte. There may be a sequel if next years grant runs out. In case you're wondering this was written on the backscreen & effectively takes up no memory. Why is Orifice here ? Well I dont really know. I just did it for the same reason Mr.Brattel did specticle. That was on the B-side of my all time fav. 'Dark Star'. Talking of Simon I fear I may go the same celibatic way. HELP!!! God I hate computers. Ralph's Page Hi from Ralph-alias 'pest' zapper and protector of all exp-ensive hardware in Darren's room even if it is a bit naff. By the way I couldn't do the screen I wrote![no.14](you can guess which on it is 'cos you can't do it). Some people call me a complete & utter bar stool but I put that down to the fact I eat bran-flakes more than the average person Darren's Ego Trip Girls, are you tired of the same old games ?
