You'd wait 10 minutes for the game to load then it would f uk up.

 

 

 

 

 

I remember me and my mates during dinner time at school would nip along to Robertson's (I think. Not glens, Hutchison or Stepek.😉) on Gorgie Road.

We'd do a bit of programming along the lines of 10 print "f**k", 20 goto 10, run or whatever it was.

f**k would appear all over the garish green screen and a bloke who looked like ex aberdeen/dundee player Bobby Connor would chase us out the shop!

When was this?

Would have been around mid-90s.

I would also like to make it very clear that when I said "I had a day out to Stanley Mills" to smash some windows, I was referring to a friend of a friend, called Tony.  I was at home playing Psycho Fox and Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck (prior to going to Pizza Express or its equivalent at the time) and do not condone any form of vandalism.

Would that have been before or after the old Mill office was burnt down by my mates wee brother?
