Crisis13 Hello,
I am Speccy fan since 1983...
I beautyfied the ZX version, mostly by removing ';' end line 210 and making it "a" store to go to since that fits better in 32 chars which in the length of one line in ZX Spectrum standard char.
the POKE is for smooth page scrolling.
And the 'pause' is getting shorter the more they drink (littl' joke)
