"It was at address 1331 in the rom. RANDOMIZE USR 1331 would activate it.

You could run it on every Spectrum in Smiths to make it look like it was loading and come back later to find out how big the queues were getting."

Haha yeah, "Program: Manic Miner" was the one that got the most interest.

I always used USR 1310, but looking at the code now, neither start at a sensible point in the code.

"Yes, for some reason the routine never ended, which is odd. I'll have to disassemble it and have a look sometime..."

Yeah... Not sure without looking why it never maxed out at 65536, but here's the disassembly, complete with notes!
