I had a pair of Clarks Hardware trainers in the 80s and they were awesome!
Possibly the greatest boys trainers of all time, with the greatest advert and extras that can with the shoes!
Circa 1985 I think (based on my memory of a certain combination of things I recall at the time).
Intentional or not there's a definite Tron theme running through the whole marketing campaign, especially the advert. Once the kid enters his computer game he fights a robot and then something that looks almost identical to the Master Control Program in Tron.
Being a big fan of Tron, a fan of computer games and being about 7 at the time, this advert really hooked me. My Mum bless her bought me a pair and they were the greatest thing. Sealing the coolness was that they came with a poster of the bad guy!
Hi folks, this is a short video on how I would approach creating conversation with your NPCs in ZIL. Apologies for the terrible croaky voice, for some reason whenever I get the burning urge to create a video I also seem to come down with a sore throat :(
This is how I create plausible conversational code for NPCs, it's by no means "best practice" and probably wouldn't scale to well if you're planning on writing the next Galatea! But for simple conversation, telling and asking, this should work nicely for you.
If you want to just copy & paste then the files I used in this example are available here:

Hope it helps!

Between 90 and 96, when apparently the rest of the UK was fully aware of the internet, BBS, all that good stuff, I and my friends in little old Ashfield (Nottinghamshire) knew about Mega Drive, ST and Amiga ... we knew nothing of the internet until around 1997 onwards. I thought that was common in the UK, I now know we lived in a bubble!
