Editing Mornington Crescent (game) (section)

== Cultural references ==

The code for the first ever Mornington Crescent computer game, on a BBC Micro, was presented on p154 of the April 1985 edition of ''The Micro User'', an early computer magazine.<ref>{{Cite periodical |date=April 1985 |title=Take the Northern Line to Mornington Crescent |url=http://8bs.com/othrdnld/tmu/scans/tmu026.zip |access-date=2024-05-16 |magazine=[[The Micro User]] |pages=121-125 |volume=3 |issue=2 |issn=0265-4040}}</ref> Due to space restrictions, the rules for the game were not published but were promised for the next month's edition, along with an explanation by a member of the Society for the Support of Mornington Crescent, Dr. Richard Taylor-Fischel. Unfortunately, in that edition on the Letters page, p121, he took umbrage at the modifications to the game that had been necessary to produce a computer program and consequently withdrew his collaboration, using the name Dr. R. T. Fischel PhD and bar. <ref>{{Cite periodical |last=Fischel |first=R.T. |date=May 1985 |title=Shocks on the Line |url=https://8bs.com/othrdnld/tmu/scans/tmu027.zip |access-date=2024-05-16 |magazine=[[The Micro User]] |page=154 |volume=3 |issue=3 |issn=0265-4040}}</ref>
