One of Zzap's best features was their "Diary of a Game" in which they had a famous programmer keep a diary of their exploits while working on their latest game. It really gave an insight into how games are programmed and the whole process surrounding it. This diary relates to Martin Walker and his game called "Citadel" written between January 1988 and June 1989. Enjoy.
