Alright, petal, picture this: two great big cartoon hands, like they've wandered off the telly, are holding up a tattered bit of what looks like stained parchment. It's all aged yellowy colour and crinkly at the edges from whoever sketched this map having sweaty palms. The map itself is a wonky, isometric maze, all zig-zaggy brickwork and bizarre rooms drawn in crude black lines. Scattered about inside are symbols - a little stick man getting hit by lightning, a cauldron, and loads of 'X' marks the spot. At the bottom is scrawled a legend and I'd hate to be the one trying to decipher it on my rubber-keyed wonder. This is how real Speccy owners used to game, before all the touchy-feely modern nonsense. And don't get me started on them Commodore and Amstrad owners!

The illustration is a map for the game Pyracurse.

It starts on page 58 or so of the archive.org PDF.
