Lookback at 2025

Happy Christmas and a merry New Year. Once again it's time to take a break from the two-week update schedule and cast an eye over the blog itself and answer the big questions like what are the Top 10 most popular articles? And will Softek/The Edge be number one again? Right now, I don't know. It's time to use all available fingers and toes to do some counting.

Penguin, Puffin, Collins, Heinemann, Hodder & Stoughton, Century, Arrow, Hutchinson, and Hill MacGibbon

The success of The Hobbit must have left book publishers wondering if they were also sitting on a fortune. The game cost £14.95, expensive at the time (less so today; it works out to just over £50) but the price didn't impact its success. Sales were being estimated at north of 100,000 copies by November 1983 [1]. What if everyone sat down and started singing about gold?
