The Acornsoft
games were very high quality (hard to distinguish from their
arcade inspirations).
But I was mostly interested in programming, so I loved our BBC Micro Model B
to bits. A far superior machine to the Apple and Commodores.
I agree that it was a far superior machine. It had its limitations --
shortage of RAM, notably -- but it was a great design.
I'll have to take your word for it on the arcade games. TBH I was just
repeating what I've heard -- which was wrong of me. :-( Sorry...
