Thanks (bookmarking)!

However: We were able to build in a larger, handier interface, with additional keys and functionality, and build in the ability to tweet from the game.

I wonder who at the BBC in 2024 thought a tight and (by the sound of it) exclusive integration of the-right-wing-cesspit-formerly-known-as-Twitter would be a good idea?

I think this was released in 2014, not 2024. The original was released in 1984 and those are the notes for the 30th Anniversary Edition. I now feel old.

Twitter was still 140 characters when they wrote those notes.

Ah, ok, sorry, my bad - unfortunately I can't delete the comment anymore...
