It’s fun to remember that #Psion, the company famous for the #Organiser and the #EPOC OS, that became #Symbian, started life making games for the good old #Sinclair #Spectrum, such as #ChequeredFlag. They got into serious software by getting a contract with Sinclair to write a suite of business apps for the #QL.

Chequered Flag (Sinclair Research, 1983). A brilliant F1 simulator back in the day, but that hasn't aged very well. In that year, a racing car game that featured first person view, 10 famous circuits to choose from as well as 3 cars, number of laps, hills to climb and descend, a pit stop, ... was just amazing to play. Control the fuel level and avoid the overheating in the engine, oil or water on the road, ... a Spectrum classic
