  Codemasters are ancient! Amazed their still around - I remember some of their ZX Spectrum Games as a kid in the UK

    Very much so. I think I was first introduced to Codemasters as they were the publishers of the Dizzy-franchise by the Oliver Twins. Codemasters released a hell of a lot of cheap and cheerful games, on cassette, for the ZX Spectrum. (The Spectrum was by far the most popular machine at the time in the UK, and it had a presence in Spain, along with other countries.) The Spectrum was what got me interested in computers, all the way back in 82: https://blog.steve.fi/how_i_started_programming.html https://blog.steve.fi/how_i_started_programming.html

      > Codemasters as they were the publishers of the Dizzy-franchise by the Oliver Twins. Dizzy was great! Text adventures were around then, but Dizzy was a bit like an early point and click adventure in terms of puzzles with item combinations (with terrible platforming in place of pointing and clicking, and paper thin plots).

    I also had no idea they were still around. Good memories. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMX_Simulator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMX_Simulator

    Yep! Many games of theirs made part of my childhood, and I still play Dirt Rally today.
