Re: World of Spectrum....

Mark, I think you are making the mistake of assuming there are only two sides in the community: "friend" and "enemy". Nobody wants WoS to close down, but we have had to face the facts and realise that the only thing that can be saved is the content of WoS and (maybe) the spirit o...

Re: ZX Spectrum Next

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello James... Think we had some chit-chat back about 10 years ago, when I did the native OS/2 version of x128 (NOT the recompiled X/Window version for OS/2) You probably don't know - but the OS/2 version actually ended up on a danish magazine cover cd ;) Hi, Thomas.

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello!

I'm the former author of the X128 emulator and a few (failed) attempts at writing some Spectrum games.
