Fabulous! How did you find that out? Did you just recognise it or was it talked about elsewhere?

Re: Rave to the sound of... a ZX Spectrum loading
What about this from popular beat combo The Snap Dankles? Sounds like a mashed up Speccy loading screen to me (almost a minute in)

Re: Goodbye,Z80
For all the tongue in cheek comments others have posted, sadness is my overwhelming emotion too. :( Z80s have been part of the computing landscape for about as long as I have. Yep. I actually thought the original post was tongue in cheek because of the "Water Foundry" thing. At least Fede...

Re: RIP F David Thorpe
Sad to hear. RIP. The gallery on that linked page is tremendous. He managed to get so much movement and life into his screens, true classics. It's impossible to pick a favourite. Pogo comes to mind, not because it was necessarily my favourite, but because my copy never went beyond the loading screen...

Re: Goodbye,Z80
Oh no, does this mean my Spectrum will stop getting security patches?
And what happens to my game library? Honestly, if I have to pay for Ocean's Mario Bros one more time...

Re: New Game Creator
Agreed, this looks great! I'm also pleased to see it's cross-platform. Mac support is always the first thing I check, as so many tools are Windows-only (eg. MPAGD), or sort-of-working-with-Mono (eg. #CSpect). I'll definitely be trying this. For reference, if anyone's interested at all, I have some b...

Re: Bank switching issue
The bank switching is an instantaneous hardware switch so there's no delay. So, just the few instructions needed to switch banks then I guess? I was expecting a bigger speed penalty to bank switching. The game I'm working on (with z88dk) has music stored in one of the upper memory banks to be playe...

Re: I ❤️ Kosmic Kanga. Who's with me? 🤣
Really nice article, AlWo73 . Lee P There's definitely a knack to Kosmic Kanga and loads of people seem to find it uncontrollable. For instance, in the Sinclair User review: Controlling the kangaroo is rather haphazard and consequently zapping anything becomes a matter of luck as well as skill. But ...

Re: Clebin's projects for 2023
It's been over a year since I posted here, and it's obvious that things didn't quite go according to plan. Unfortunately 2023 turned into a pretty awful year. Without going into detail, it's something most of us will sadly go through with our parents sooner or later. Fast-forward to 2024, I've been ...
Re: STM32 Bot
A little bit scary. If you never had any shred of doubt it was a bot - and not a weird fanatic with bad grammar - you obviously haven't spent much time on Amiga forums.
