‘Acornsoft - “Announcing more exciting programs for the BBC.”‘ [’BCPL’, ’Draughts and Reversi’, ‘Hopper’, ‘Shirley Conran’s Magic Garden’]
[BBC] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [1983]
Probably the original BBC Software company, this was a software arm of Acorn itself. In my mind, and many others, it is recognised as one of the best. It was particularly good at converting the arcade games of the time (Asteroids, Space Invaders, etc) and it also did a few text adventures which were also good. It is probably best known for the discovery of Elite, and Revs, Geoff Crammonds' first in a long line of successful racing games.
Superior Software eventually came in and bought the whole of Acornsoft's back catalogue in 1986 and from then on some of the games were re-released on the Play It Again Sam, and Acornsoft Hits collections. After five years in the ring it was still the unbeaten champion, and you can imagine why, Acorn had all the knowledge about the beeb, everything which it was capable of, and how to do it in the best way possible, which is why most of their games are extremely well programmed. ~The BBC Games Archive

I marched in the Asheville Mardi Gras parade today!! The theme was "Wild Wild Asheville" so the library interpreted that as "Where the Wild Things Are" which I then immediately decided that I must be Max. 🤓👹 Here's me having a photoshoot in my costume✨ . . . . . #ashevillemardigras #ashevillemardigrasparade #ashevillemardigras2019 #wherethewildthingsare #wildthing #costume #cute #mardigras #BCPL #buncombecountylibrary #librarian #library #nerd #books (at Asheville, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BukXV56lah5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11xrz1x4y9e8v

Happy Birthday Mister Rogers! Today would have been his 89th birthday and what better way to celebrate this gentle man than by watching classic episodes of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, like this episode which is all about pets. Won’t you be my neighbor?
