I remember it more as an #Amiga game, I think that got more coverage in magazines; by the time I got my A500 it had long been pulled (and got a copy by "other means").

Even 'Snatch'? www.imdb.com/title/tt0208...

There you go. ;) I think we got ours from a dedicated electronics shop (400) and big department store (800XL). Def. not Dixons or WH Smiths!

I think it was price. Maybe availability too - I don't remember it being in as many stores as the C64 & Speccy. I can't remember how it stacked aganst the C64 on price. A lot of C64 fans will argue about the sound, tho'.

Also: when changing sheets is seen as an opportunity for play... though I always find bribery with treats to be a good positive-sum tactic.

Welcome. So far Bluesky feels like T**ter before all the crazy happened...

It's like Twitter before all the crazy got there. And a bit like Threads, before Meta decided the Follower list was 'more a set of guidelines, really...'. And nothing like Mastodon, thankfully.
