Today I received from FedEx a package from Florida USA. A kind soul and Tornado friend named Mike sent it to me as a gift. I enjoyed opening the Tornado package and lifting out the box and its contents.

Joy is holding the original UK 1993 Tornado box in my hands!
Double joy is seeing the original Digital Integration Tornado manual.
Triple joy is seeing the original Spectrum Holobyte Tornado manual. Now I have a spare!
Quadruple joy is seeing the Keyboard Commander Tornado keyboard template
Quintuple joy is seeing the supercrisp full-size double-sided maps
Sextuple joy is seeing the original 3.5" disks and head-to-head guides
Septuple joy is seeing the Tornado Flightplan form just itching to be photocopied and filled in by hand with a pencil

The treasure chest

The keyboard template - what a beautiful of art it is! I can immediately see how much it transforms a standard boring keyboard into a colourful game station, specific to the game! That makes me want to drop by the PC repair shop and see if I can get a 1990s keyboard (and a PS/2 to USB convertor) so I can play the game it all its glory. A template like this would have increased the game's enjoyment. It would make the keyboard feel like a cockpit. In 1993/1994, the number of Tornado keys would have been daunting for the average gamer. The template acts to demystify the (then) huge key command list and to abstract the keyboard commands into key imagery.

With this piece of gaming history in my hands, plus the source code which I can modify, it is Tornado all the way.

Continue to play PBEM Battle Academy 2
I revisited "Of King and Man" early access and it seems the developers change their name and crew and update the game consistently, the new raid game and clan management is amazing and I think the game is going to the right direction, if you bought the game please give it another try.

Thanks for the heads up on "Of Kings And Men"

That was generous and kind of someone 

I remember keyboard layouts. Quite a few games had them in the 80's and 90's  . They were very helpful. You could find the key command quickly. It made a BIG difference.

Thanks for sharing Frankie
