  Hey Tim,

  Hope you don't mind me emailing you just to thank you for making the marvellous Tim Love's Cricket for the Dragon 32 all those years ago. I absolutely adored the game. I saw a copy up for sale on Ebay just before Christmas, and picked it up for a bargain £1. Now all I need is a Dragon to play it on :)

  Good luck with your endeavours.

• For some reason (maybe Dragon computers sold well there) an advert for Iceland was produced.

Introduction

A long time ago when computer games were on audio cassettes and computers had 32K of RAM, I wrote a game

It was with a small company, Peaksoft. According to the potted history of Peaksoft it got some ok reviews

• Remarkable ... Fantastic Detail ... Graphics 100% ... Value 100% - "Home Computing Weekly"
• Ingenious ... Brilliant - "Personal Computer Games"

That's not how I remember it (I'd taught myself how to program and was learning as I wrote). I got about half a year's pay from it (that I was going to get money for something I enjoyed came as a shock) and I had the chance to see my game at a stall in a Computer Game show.

Here's some of the draft code -
