Quad5point1 17th Jun 2021		I remember these particular issues from Level 9. Like you said "All very home brewed" and indeed if you check out the address on the packaging via "Google Earth" it's just a normal home on a normal street and definitely not business premises. The story I heard was that it was 2 brothers and their dad, don't know if that's true or not. Curiousity got the better of me and if you check out other comapnies who were issuing BBC computer games 9 times out of 10 they are all normal houses. A lot of great software coming out of peoples bedrooms back then, happy days indeed. Nice to see another fellow Beeb user uploading games.



Folker 15th Jun 2021		This originally came with quite rudimentary packaging, compared to the later blown-vinyl case, with assorted inserts. The original was recorded on a standard TDK C60, with 1200 and 300 baud copies, with typed title/copyright info on the TDK inlay and simple monochrome outer inlay. All very home brewed (see scans). However, this did not detract from the remarkable achievement of squeezing the original Crowther and Woods "Colossal Cave" mainframe program into just 32k of memory. I'd been playing Colossal Cave on our company mini for a while, but this was naturally frowned upon by the powers that be. Being able to play it at home seemed extraordinary, at the time.
