My nickname...

Fract indeed, my dear! Fracts are very important!

Fract the second: It's a vaguely cool-sounding generic fantasy/sci-fi name, usable in most contexts.

OK, just have a nice, friendly meal for two then.

MENTAL NOTE: Leave em alone and stop playing matchup!!!

Better...

What the hell is a fract? You will have to forgive my limited vocabulary. I am just a stupid scientist! My vocaulary is full of useless words that if you say to most normal people, they look at you like you are a lunatic!

(Bangs head repeatedly against table)

OF COURSE IT'S NOT A WORD!

I was just trying to take my error in good humour...

Fact the third.... when did you start gaming?

When did I start gaaming? I dont know!

And stop confusing me with your typos! You know Im stupid and easily confused so stop it!

Born in 1983, though... which means you would have been two years old... not likely you'll get the gaming reference, I guess...

Yes London for me hopfeully! Fingers crossed!

Go Witchy!

Obviously not because if there is a gaming reference then it went straight over my head!

Ok, the name comes fro the main bad guy from the 1985 Spectrum Classic Lords of Midnight, a game that revolutionised games, and was the most amazing hit at the time. people sent in whole stories to gamiong amgazines about what they were doing in it, tales of their troops and battles, problems and victories... it was really big. Being seven at the time, it was quite an influence on me.

One the main objectives for the good guys was to storm the Citadel of Ushgarak.

for info on the updated PC version! Though they had better have another version available soon...

Ohok then! We used tohave a spectrum but we could only get the damn thing to work a few times before it nearly blew up the TV we had loads of games too. My uncle gave it all to us. I dont know whether we ever had that. Never had a chance to see.

There is a perfect emulated version on that site, along with a new version with a modern-day PC graphics interface... still needs work though, so grab the emulated originals... bloody tiny they are, by modern standards.

Thank you for the confidence!

Yep you see straight over my head again. Im young and stupid so just treat me that way and we'll all get along fine!

It's not that difficult... let me see...

Go... to... the ... site... and... get... the... emulated... versions... of... the ... original... game... and ... it's... sequel... they...are...not...very...big.

There. Not too hard, was it?

By the way... STOP CRITICSING YOURSELF!

Not at all...

Expensive place to live...

It IS, horrendously so, so I assume they have all sorts of facilities for students

Let's hope so...
