It was those Artic games (which I have still got for the Spectrum) along with The Hobbit from Melbourne House that got me into computers. I saw them reviewed in a computer magazine, which I only used to buy because it had a couple of pages on chess computers ( I was into chess at the time). It's hard to describe now the amazement there was that a computer could take in English input and react to that input.

I didnt realise till, I think it was last year, that CS was the creator of those Artic games.
