Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas (Part 5), by Thomas A. Christie. In this section: "The Miser" by River Software (1990). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

Richard Murray Interview

Inside Story, Kate Stewart interviews Richard Murray. Richard is an Alt. Country artist from Northern Ireland who is influenced by the Americana movement of the 90s along with classic rock and celtic music. He was a session musician in London for many years before beginning his solo career in 2007 with my debut album Desert Wind. He also writes for TV, Film and other artists. His music has been described as Heartland Rock, tastefully arranged and well produced. Sung richly and soulfully with careful character studies.
