Hi Chris, yeah, the SAM was released just a wee bit too late, which was a real shame. It was a great machine for its time, and a lot of love went into making it. I certainly put a lot of love into the software I produced, and I think I got some really good results from the BASIC that SAM had, especially my "Gridlock" game which is on Enceladus 10.
I'm still trying to get a hold of my Review diskzines. I have only managed to obtain issue #2 so far, and I put out five issues, so here's hoping!

Hi Ron, Many thanks for that - Wolfgang sent a link to your software - thanks Wolfgang! Your game Quix is a very different beast to the arcade game Qix - in fact, only the name is similar! Apparently the arcade version is pronounced "kicks" - but I always pronounce it "quicks" ;-) Your game is quite a challenge to play - in some ways it feels like a beefed-up Tetris! It's pretty amazing to see what you can do in standard Sam BASIC. The SAM really was too much too late... Sad really, as it really was a lovely machine to write code for... :-( Cheers, Chris.
