A completely original idea and difficult but possible game play made for a real hit.

This hack'll alleviate your writers' cramp when you're given all those lines to write from the nasty teachers. The title screen should load in less than a minute, but if the screen clears after the game's loaded then you'll have to rewind the tape and start again.

Your Sinclair made an error in this hack because it does not work due to an incorrect checksum in line 50. Not to worry, here is how to fix it. Change line 50 to: 50 IF S<>19263 THEN PRINT "CHECKSUM ERROR - RECHECK DATA LINES" : STOP. The fixed version of this hack I have provided for download. It has been tested and now works!
