Awesome.

I've no idea why, but the Polish could make the 800-series sing. An entire generation of bedroom coders getting their games onto top tier labels like Zeppelin, Mastertronic etc.

Janusz Pelc springs to mind, he (she?) seemed incapable of writing a bad game, super talented.

It fills me with hope that this RM800 will do well.

He; IIRC, “Janusz” is Polish for “Jonathan”

Brilliant, thank you - that's really interesting and appreciated.

I still remember typing JPELC at the Mission: Shark title screen to toggle cheats.
