Are you going to blame the search feature on your inability to reply to the correct person too?

Back in those days, and more so with the Speccy, memory was king.
Programmers had to squeeze every last pip out of the lemon.
I know that one of the games produced sound by interrupting the video signal every 5th part of the 50 hertz signal which generated a noise and owing to the human eye's persistence of vision did not affect the picture.
It meant that the game could utilise the area reserved for sound generation in the game data.
That is how clever they were, and how sharp the skills were at reducing algorithms down to the barest minimum for speed and memory efficiency.
Nowadays with fast machines and limitless memory people just pump out any old crapola.
Long gone are the days of the memory wizards.
Alas and alack, O Tempora O Mores.

I remember when I wrote PooperPig for the BBC, after it finished loading from disk or cassette, I used the reserved buffers for data storage and decompressed the level maps into them.
It actually used the screen memory during compression so had to change the visible colours so it didn't look too crap.
I despair sometimes when I see that an ICON for a game uses more memory than the entire PooperPig code!

I really wanted one when it first came out but couldn't afford.

I don't see why they[^] have a jobs page. Couldn't you just save your interest in an unsent email?

Nah - that's the fast track route to a job in the NSA...

They've been pushing more openness for a while now. Presumably because it is pretty difficult for an upper middle class Oxbridge graduate white guy to infiltrate jihadi organisations in Afghanistan.
