Computer Glitch figures

Post by Juan F. Ramirez »

I've just found these weird figures released in 1989, 11 in total:

Each figure represents a computer glitch like General Failure, Keyboard Unlocker, Disk Infectant, ...

It seems one of these figures near your computer keeps it safe from its corresponding glitch... :mrgreen:

I'm thinking of something similar on the Spectrum, a sort of 'Chuntey Field figures'...

I'm not sure what the difference between "not enough memory" and "insufficient memory" is, apart from of course it being an excuse to sell more dolls.

Perhaps we could have a different "Chuntey Field" figure for each kind of tape loader e.g. a stern looking prison guard for games with Alkatraz protection on them, etc.
