Come to think of it there were quite a few Arc adventures, some of them not
rubbish. :-) I must go drag them up...

Plea: does anyone have a snapshot of "Behind Closed Doors"? It was a one-

S'right, YS was Your Sinclair, a rather good magazine for the Spectrum. It
was, AFAIK, the first magazine to think of having a cover-tape, which all the
other computer magazines had to have to compete, which is why we get so many
cover-mounted discs and CDs full of rubbish on magazines these days.
