One night somebody ramraided the building and stole thousands of copies of a game called 'Zortek and the Microchips'. It was completely useless, and had been left there for years to keep the draught out - they couldn't sell it. They were about to claim thousands in insurance until the police recovered all of them, even the thieves didn't want them." Kevin Blake, Tynesoft. Copyright © Plus/4 World Team, 2001-2013
