Great video on one of the great grandparents of 3D and one the first open-ended computer games. Learn how they got it all to fit into just 32kb on an BBC Acorn microcomputer in 1984. I loved playing this on a friend's BBC micro they had at their house.

I've just picked up a sweet, sweet Mega Games Cartridge for the Acorn Electron thanks to Dave at Retro Hardware!
