Sinclair Users 'Mr Poke'

Mark R. Jones · September 2011

Any one ever come across or heard anything about Adrian Singh who did, for a good couple of years, almost all of Sinclair User's pokes? I went to middle school with him and stayed mates through the Spectrum years. His house was the first place I ever saw 'Knight Lore' and 'Underwurlde' running. He sometimes used to mention me and my mates in his scrolling message on the SU tapes which contained all his hacks, while I was working at Ocean.

Not heard anything about him for years and just wondered if anyone else had.

Mr Poke sounds like he ought to be a pornstar.

Aah, the innocence of youth...

I just turn all the privacy options in FB up to 11 and only accept friend requests from people who I don't mind seeing what I'm up to (which, in all fairness, is pretty-much everyone -- I don't really do anything interesting enough to want to hide it from people from my past!).

That rather depends who your mates are and how interesting the stuff they write is :)
