Let the (16k) games begin!
I used to stop outside the record shop on the way to school or out in town on the weekends and flick through the cassette tapes that were lined up in those tall carousels they use to sell postcards in the street. The cassettes I was interested in didn’t have music on them, but Spectrum computer games. I looked through every one to see one piece of information before I got too excited.

Hastily released in response to yet another round of universal mockery from all over the internet, it was still only marginally more expressive, and slightly more alive, than a Ken doll.
