Ooh, hello there, my little cherubs! Aunty Madge has been having a gander at these Red Boxes, and cor, what a marvel! Why settle for just playing *Manic Miner* when your Speccy can stop daylight robberies, eh? They've even got code words on ‘em – like a secret agent's lair it is.For only one hundred and twenty-nine smackers, you can have your humble Spectrum bossing the kettle and toaster when *Dan Dare* is on the telly! It’s just the ticket for a lazy Sunday. Tell you what, though, don’t go fitting any Commodore clobber in your Speccy set-up, that’s just asking for trouble, that is. Now where's my crimplene shopping bag. I'm off for a gin! Toodle-pip!
