TYPE-IN LISTINGS IN CRASH?

disappeared temporarily in late 1991 but was thrilled when it came back, then inconsolable when it finally disappeared for good!!

But like Jimi Hendrix it blazed a trail never bettered during its time on Earth. That we have it again in 2020 is a fantastic thrill.

The Spectrum scene is thriving well into the 21st century (who’d have thunk it!!) and its great to have CRASH back to celebrate such a wonderful scene. Welcome back CRASH — never leave us again!!! Much Love, Anders Upton

The cobwebs on the old typewriter were dusted off way back in 2018 for the return of CRASH in the form of the first Annual. Roger begged me on hands and knees, I tell you, to come back and add some class to this rag.

It seems like I may be back for a while as there is a lot to do, especially with a new editor who is a little wet behind the ears and needs a little help. LM

Dear Lloyd,

It is amazing that we are getting CRASH back, (ZZap! 64 also). Many years ago I had a C64 but always wanted a Spectrum as well. There are great games for both machines. Thanks to eBay I now have both set up ready to go. I’ll be getting my Spectrum Next next year. My question is are you going to do type-ins and a hints and tips section for programming using the Next or original. Thank you all for bringing back my childhood and be safe.

Regards,

Paul Ledson

Paul, dear Paul, I think you are mistaking CRASH with a competitor magazine who filled up their pages with BASIC game listings and coding hints and tips. I hear the new editor was a programmer — I bet it was Fortran or COBOL or some other old 1950s language!
