I don’t think today’s generation gets how good they have it. My 1st experience with computers and gaming was #Podd, I remember this so well it was amazing, very basic but a great introduction to a world I adore today. #acornsoft #myfirstgame #bbccomputers

Been playing the V2 edition of Acornsoft Maze, got to level 12.
