BASIC Conversion Chart 1984

Once upon a time, this A2 poster used to hang on my wall as a gleaming example of the white heat of technology.

By the way, the game I mention called Blink is a new (well, new-ish. It was written in 2003) text adventure which I really enjoyed since it had a nice sense of humour and some clever puzzles.
