RetroBytes | The Acorn Electron : Its not quite the story you think it is @RetroBytesUK | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
The Acorn Electron has turned 40 years old, but its often judged in away that suggests it failed or was the sole cause of Acorn's financial issues in the 80s. Well I'm not sure either of those things are true. So its time to look at the Electron.

Here is the video by Rose Tinted Spectrum I mentioned Elementum, it explains so well why this game is so good. Also just check out his videos in general, very much worth watching.
