I have to admit that I had totally forgotten about this game. It was nice to be reminded of a time when British culture was represented in computer games. Now there is much more globalisation in games which is fine really as the mass market dictates that and I think it is great that games are as mainstream as movies.

Nice also to be reminded of the Spectrum. The best home computer ever!! Some many original games came out for the spectrum and it had a real homebrew feel to it.

As a matter of interest are you guys aware of the origin of the title of this game? It is a reference to a Sun (terrible british tabloid) headline concerning Freddie Star. Freddie is (was?) a notorious hell raising comedian anyway one night he picked up a young lady and was taken back to her flat. He woke up drunk and in the night went to her kitchen to find some food. Finding nothing much available he put her pet hamster between two slices of bread and ate it! Hence the front page headline Freddie Star ate may hamster! Clearly nonsense and i think it was later retracted but you can't keep a good story quiet. So here I am 25 years later relating it to you!
