| It's quite possible that my cracked copy of Frak! was passed around the UK quite a bit - the copy protection was mildly fun to crack and, yes, I quickly came across the Captain Pugwash tune in the BASIC preloader. I was writing a tape-to-disk copier in 6502 at the time (I'm... |

| A brilliant game that holds up well even today. The randomness was impressive for 1982 and it was easy to get sucked into the wheeling and dealing, and the ship-to-ship combat, while slow, could be tense at times if you lost too many ships. I read somewhere once that James... |
