Oh all right.....
Some people may not regard me as regular but a post every 5 or 6 year is 
regular.... just not frequent.

While clearing the loft a couple of weeks ago I came across an interface 
2 clone and a couple of games still in box... Jetpac and Planetoids.
I have just looked on Ebay to see what they are worth. Holy crap! I 
really need to get back to scouring car boot sales.
Also managed to find White Lightning Forth that I was given a looong 
time ago and never quite got to grips with. Anyone used White Lightning 
Forth for the speccy?

Not the White Lightning one, but I did have their Laser Basic (the one Ocean
released). I did knock up a few programs with it and a 'part one' of a frankly
terrible game that will never see the light! It will sit here on my PC never to
see the light of day!

What made me laugh was the 'compiler' that came with it, that really did no
compiling whatsoever!

I suggest you release it at night, anonymously, while wearing a mask, into  
the CSSCGC.

Yet it still manages to be terrible.  Sounds like a winner!

A terrible game with effort obviously spent on it is often more likely
to win than an atrocious game knocked up in half an hour.

It depends on the judge, but the universal law is something like:

effort                 1
------ x  crap  x ------------
 time    factor   year written

The last value there is to symbolise that old crap that was written at
a time when the author was trying to write something good, often

<sniggers like Muttley>

In fact, I was never here....

<chortles like Terry Scott as the schoolboy in the old CurlyWurly adverts>

After years of playing Speccy games on my android phone and tablet via 
Marvin, I actually pulled out my old rubber key speccy and fired it up 
but I then discovered that I didn't have a cassette recorder so back to 
Marvin on the android to play The Bard's Tale.
