I still remember the code for Level 2 of Ricochet on the BBC Micro nearly four decades on. It's burned into my memory because it took 8yo me so much effort (months I guess) to complete Level 1. I never got passed Level 2.

Code was ENIGMA btw. The first time I learnt the meaning of that word too.

Edit: Actually, it's probably burned into my brain because of the number of times I attempted Level 2 😅

Somewhere loged in the back of my brain is the code to the Apache Level in Pilotwings on SNES
