As an Amiga-owning Brit living in the South of Europe back then, as much as my eye was cast homeward culturally, it was also eyeing Germany quite a lot. You guys made great games too (never mind the demo scene, which Germany and the Nordics kicked British ass at) and I used to tune in to some German radio station on Saturday nights on Satellite radio and hook it up to a tape recorder so that I had electronic/dance music no one else in my school even knew about :)

I realise now, reading back, that you said East Germany. I forgot that was A Thing, for shame.

Think "ZX Spectrum" without ULA and half the performance.
