Spectrum Computing

I bought a bundle of early Sinclair User mags a few months ago and I've been doing the same with them. Best bit is they cover the ZX80, ZX81 and Spectrum, plus they're full of type ins too!

It's over 40 years since I did this but I reckon I'm enjoying it more now than when I was 10 years old!

This is the reason I won't, or rather can't, use ZX Online.

Been an issues since day 1. Shame really.

Does anybody know of any new (as in post Speccy production years) software that uses Currah Micro speech? I've just modded a unit to bypass any RF signal and made a composite out lead. Basically completely removed the old RF and 3.5mm jack lead and connected pin 24 on the speech chip for positive an...

Didn't the original Booty have music? I know the remake did.

Just got hold of a 16k issue two. All I'm getting is the said image. Tried a working ULA but no luck. Also the chip that's missing (before anyone says it 😁) was swapped for an identical one from a working issue 2 board s still nothing. Any ideas guys?

My 'posh' mate had a BBC and that tune still haunts me today!
Let me know it that's the game, if not a challenge you to get the tune out of your head.

Oh god, not ZX Online. I have better things to do with my life than work out the Krypton Factor puzzle that is downloading stuff from there again. I got an email the other day announcing 3 new games. I'll never try to buy anything from them until they sort the website out. Shame really as they have...

Just tried to buy this but for some reason the checkout woudn't allow payments????

Anyone else had this problem today? (4/3/22)

I went down..... About a minute after I posted on here! 🤨😂 Couldn't see the wood for the trees, as the saying goes. Wouldn't these graphics and clean scrolling be superb used in a Scramble type game? That's the one thing, along with a decent Donkey Kong that I've been waiting (hoping) for since firs...

Has.....or even is it possible to complete level 29?!?! I collect the key but it seems impossible to get up to the level where the door is. Is there a simple trick I'm missing? Tried all the moves I've picked up getting to this level but.......HELP!!!! 😀😀😀 Great game by th way...and the graphics mak...

Not a clue who Ken Pearson is/was but I have his old Issue 1! Every key feels like new and works.I'll be stripping and cleaning this and adding it to the collection.

I'm 52 .... On Wednesday 27th! Had a ZX81 in '81 and then rubber key Speccy in a Lo-Profile keyboard in '83. Started collecting after getting very ill in 2019 and being housebound (now all clear and renovating property but life's changed dramatically, and for the better!) Started by getting a ZX81 t...
