A bit more detail about the infamous FAX that Software Creations received when we were working on SNES 'Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge'. I'm very doubtful $40Million of royalties would have come our way. They usually paid developers a flat-fee for each game.

Our resident dog, Luna, is not impressed with this weeks' visitors. First, there's a local cat that likes to chew our car radio aerials and yesterday Winnine the hamster arrived for a week while her mum and dad are on holiday. Sulk mode has been engaged as the hammy is getting way too much attention

The ARM Evaluation System 2nd processor for the BBC Micro is a rare beast. Steve Furber said he believed less than 100 were produced. I have no idea how many survived, but they do come up for sale occasionally. One appeared on eBay in 2011 and sold for £2,850! Cheap as they cost £4,500+VAT when new.
