Aged 13, 11 and 8,
the bros and I played
Amcom's FORTRESS;
it had come free
with Dad's Micro User magazine.
Soon, Dad regretted
allowing us to play,
as we got a bit hyper
piloting our starfighter
over enemy defences
and trying to destroy HQ --
me on A and Z
A. on < and >
and G. in the middle
bashing on the space bar;
MIND THE KEYBOARD!
Dad would implore.
We didn't, though,
so he took to hiding the disk
first on top of a bookcase
then in a kitchen cupboard
even in the garage for a while
until playing 'Hunt the Disk'
became more entertaining
than any computer game.
