Re: Do you play your games on a physical Speccy or an emulator?
Both, I still have a 48k and a 128k +2 at home as well as a vega.
In my class room I have a black 128k and zx81 still set up and working. Both play games at dinner time

Re: Sinclair (Amstrad) SJS-1 Joysticks - Different Versions?
The SJS never seemed to be well made. There was a grey and a black one, they both lines on the casing which matched the design on the casing on the +2 grey and black . Was that SJS1? https://i.postimg.cc/hJSpjFxq/8-D3-D16-D1-EFA5-419-A-86-C8-09656-D911-BBE.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hJpMQCbQ/AEE5114-D...
