So I got a mention on this:
http://1morecastle.com/2014/02/75-beachy-sand-haired-hippy-boy/

A few weeks ago they mentioned about how there weren't really patches for 
80s/90s videogames, and it was said they sometimes had them for PC games. 
I wrote in to explain about how there were for 8-bit computers and went on 
about POKEs and stuff. Anyway, they used it as a discussion topic this 
week.

Zee Ex Spectrum (and Vee Ex? What?) ensued.

Skip to about 14 minutes in if you can't be bothered with it all :)

Fair play to them for giving some respect to the Speccy, though. There
are plenty of people on *this* side of the Atlantic who don't
appreciate that the NES just wasn't a that big of a deal for us. And
they really seem to get it: the coders' imaginations overcoming the
limitations of the hardware, and all that. Nice little discussion.

Yeah, I didn't really expect them to pick up my email, let alone make it 
the main discussion point of the episode! Tempted to take them up on the 
request to write something about the European 8-bit "scene" for their 
site, but not sure what to write...
