I think almost all my pocket money way going into Microprose games at one point in the late 80's/early 90's. Although I have a Question for the Q&A guy... why didn't Microprose make their keyboard overlays out of stronger card?...

... as the pockey money I didn't spend on Microprose games went on buying sellotape to hold keyboard overlays together

Didn't you guys realise they would need to hold together even after hundreds of hours of use? Cheap card would've been fine had you been making average sort of games, but when making the games you did, no way was the cheap stuff going to last the distance!
