Great news! I'm always impressed by people who start out from nothing and then build something pretty significant.

In related news, Codemasters have announced the title of their forthcoming game - Advanced CBE Award Acceptance Simulator which will be released in October 2009 for the ZX81, Oric 1 and Dragon 32 home computer systems. A spokesperson for the game developers said today that it's only a provisional title and the word 'Advanced' may be replaced with 'Super' depending on the results of a market poll that is currently being held. :lol:

Well done guys. Now how about the Stampers and the Austins (Level 9) getting one? :)

If I were the Queen, I'd send them to the tower of London for denying distribution of games... ;-)
