I&#x27;m always blown away by how good the frame rates are in classic Jeff Minter games, vs what other people were doing on the same hardware.<p>I don&#x27;t recall playing any of these games back in the day, but looking at videos now, they&#x27;re fantastic.<p>These days I follow him on YouTube and Mastodon mainly for videos and photos of his pet sheep and llama.

I never understood anything that was happening in that game.

Thanks for writing this. Loved this game, purchased from Jeff at a computer show or other in London. #FFFF is 65,535 BTW, not 65,532. Great to finally learn how fast-loader etc worked.

Asking Jeff was not an option?
