    Hello!

    I am proud to announce the opening of 2022's comp.sys.sinclair Crap Game Competition, and unveil the motto of this year's event: "Cassette 50 levels of quality in the 40th year of the ZX Spectrum" (or "Cassette quinquaginta gradus qualitatis in XL anno
    ZX Imaginis " as they say in Latin).

    WEEK 1:

    Do you remember way back in the distant past of 2021?
    Jim Waterman was now hosting CSSCGC having been too-darned-uncrap in 2020. With most competitions there is a (probably unwritten) rule that the the judges can't enter themselves (matron). So Jim schemed and PLOTted and programmed and sent his first
    submission to the 2022 CCSCGC just after the stroke of midnight.

    BEHOLD, the first entry: Big Clives Supergayrainbow Ulaplus Bear Flag Edition


    And don't let deja vu get the better of you. This is different to his 2020 QL entry, this uses the ULAplus!
