GENERAL FACTS

NOTES
Shizoids is a classic game by Imagine.  Along with The Great
Space Race, it ranks as one of the worst games ever written.
  
Shizoids was so terrible, it was rapidly given another name, by
simply inserting a "t" into the title.  An interesting bug in the
code led to "phantom keypresses" which were particularly evident
on my cockroach issue 2 Spectrum, with the result that Shizoids
would play itself, (Just like TGSR!) leaving me to do less
painful things, such as boiling my head.  :)  On a positive
light, Shizoids is probably the first ever Vector Game written
for the ZX Spectrum.
