So it turns out that the game of the Chilean mine rescue isn't all that great...


Edit: If you want to PLAY this, here's the .TAP file to load into your favourite emulator.

Meh.

Edit 2: Oh yeah, you'll need the code - it's 1113.

I once paid a small fortune to a solicitor in a legal case. She got lost on the way to court, turned up late with the wrong papers and started an argument with the judge, who told her to "shut up, for the love of God". A stunning investment.
