Still no new tributes, but more updates and amendments to existing pages, as well as another new category for the Miscellaneous section - Musicians!

Another plea for information. The original Telecomsoft adverts asking for games way back in the summer of 1984 (almost twenty years ago now!) didn't use the name 'Firebird'. Apparently, it began with the word Fire, but was slightly different. It might have been Firestorm... but does anyone know? It would be fantastic to locate the original adverts that ran in the computer magazines back then, so if anyone has any old mags around June - September 1984 please have a look?

Interesting to read that Mastertronic is being resurrected. I wonder if anyone will ever think to bring back Firebird or Rainbird? I also had to smile when the new Mozilla-based browser "Firebird" was publicly released the other week. Shame that this site doesn't behave itself properly on it! CSS implementation can be fickle sometimes...
