Happy Christmas, Cudgel

It's the lightning cables that cost my household budget dear. They don't seem to stand up to any wear or tear, whereas the old style did, as do all variants of mini/micro usb/c for other devices.

Published as a type-in game in Micro Adventurer magazine issue 7, 1984. "The program will work on the Vic 20 with expansion, on the Spectrum 48K, the Commodore 64, the Dragon, the BBC and most other computers that use Basic".

There are a few more, plus several untitled. I'm having a hard time with the cassette deck heads on the unknowns. I successfully made a couple of good practice UEFs but now the tapes are getting chewed before the headers pass through. Hence me offering them out to the more knowledgeable. I do feel t...

the quality of these tapes are now 70% bad, & always need tape head cleaned after... Yes, the tape heads are giving me problems.
