Re: The elevator did it

My ZX81 was plugged into a 4-way socket, each individually switched. Turning the power on and off on socket 3 (empty) caused the ZX81 on socket 1 to perform an interrupt that stopped programs executing.

Great for hacking games for unlimited lives or removing collision detection from the code.
