I will not be getting a vega+ because you won't be able to have one, so I am proudly sticking to my Spectrum and tapes and microdrive like we all had.

A real ZX z80 talent - second to none at creating a whole good game package, gameplay, graphics, sound (such as it was!). I hope that those that knew him closely appreciate the fun a well turned out game could bring and when you saw that Joffa Smiff was the author, you knew it would be worth a play.
