I thought I'd share a couple of my early #retrogaming contributions from 1985 or so. I worked on both of these after high school, when I was renting a room in my friend Paul's house. Paul did most of the coding while I did the graphics.

I'm particularly happy with the sprite drop effect in The Key Factor which I lovingly borrowed from an Atari game called DropZone 😇

Amsoft CT-2 floppies are probably the most expensive magnetic media on the planet right now.
€129 + €37 shipping = €166

Formatted for the ZX Spectrum +3 at 180k per side, thus, ten sides = 1800k
1800k / 166 = €10.84 per kbyte.

Compare to a current Sandisk 1Tb external drive for about $160 today.
