  • St. Bride's

    From Matt Rudge@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 2 09:40:01 2024
    If anyone has a spare €800k laying around and wants to own a piece of Spectrum history, then the former home of St. Bride's in Burtonport is
    for sale [0].

    You might remember it being immortalised in John Minson's article in
    Crash [1].

    If you find the amulet in the game you can get an A Level in Adventuring!


    I don't think I ever completed it, but I do remember the really terrible
    puns.


    (hi, by the way, is this thing on?)


    More off than on these days, I'm afraid :/

    This is Miss Martindale now: https://thefemininityproject.com/about-mary-guillermin/

    As for Priscilla...she seems to have vanished, if she ever existed!
