Didn't even realise you'd joined this forum till now. Excellent.


Hi Elgin, yes, I've been here a while but don't post very much!

Jolly good, look forward to seeing you there. Due to domestic issues, I had to bail out of running things and missed a whole season since you went

Need to squeeze in a game before Sunday to get a score up - meant to do it last night but forgot, got carried away playing with my Wii. Don't want to miss a week this season


Yes, me too! I've checked my cab to make sure I have the ROM and had a quick go but didn't get a score worth mentioning :oops: I should get a few goes in this weekend before the deadline.

That's the perfect kind of score to post, might actually put someone else below me. :D :wink:

I don't believe so. You can head over to the Dragon Archive to check. They have pretty much everything on the Dragon there.

The Dragon machines were basically rip offs of existing Tandy machines (namely the Color Computer 1), If you see screen shots from Tandy games you will see they exhibit the same horrendous basic colour pallette as the Dragon.

That said - the Dragon outsold Tandy's in the U.K by a huge margin - simply by being cheaper with better features:- 32K RAM and full Keyboard, it also looked good - the Tandy Color Computer was bloody horrendous - truly the John Merrick of the computing world!
