After - I'd never even used a PC before I joined Optimal! I remember you teaching me the fundamentals of Pascal: before that, I'd never been able to grasp it - so I have you to thank!

Hold on, I'll check... OK, I've played 1135 hours on the standard edition, plus 2 hours on the special edition (haven't really played it since the SE came out!). How about you?

Well said, Cyntechtic!

You're welcome, onetree! Yes, Atic Atac was amazing: I loved that each of the three characters had different secret passages and different weapons - that gave the game so much more scope!

I remember not being able to get to grips with Pascal at all: it completely baffled me! A few years later I got Turbo Pascal for the PC and it all clicked into place, but the Spectrum one defeated me.

Nice! I got my speccy back in 1983, taught myself to program it: basic first, then machine code... I loved it! I'll be first in line for the ZX Spectrum Next!
