Apologies it's a bit blurry.

Apologies. No. I normally only delete local stuff after I confirm it's been uploaded, but I must have made a mistake on this occasion.

Please could anyone give me a simple overview of this system including programming? I found a link on the Fruitcake site (scroll to the bottom of the page), but it's dead and not saved on the Wayback machine.

There seems to be a lot of 1K ZX81 programs which have machine type '16K ZX81'.

For example:

I'm happy to create a list of IDs if it would help.

The remarks against the modified version of Voyage of Peril indicate that it's based on a type in Spectrum game. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/32068/ZX81/Voyage_of_Peril However, the only other title with the same name is a ZX81 type in from ZX Computing. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entr...

I read today that Sir Alan has purchased the name from Sky.

As for kits, have you checked out https://www.sellmyretro.com/

I agree with you - Not much information online.

@pavero

Please could the ability to select the programming language be added to 'Add a new (MIA) title/entry'.

Thanks.

We are aware that the QAOP emulator, which is one of the two emulators we use for playing games online, is coming up with the error 'Failed to Load'.

I will take a look as soon as I'm able.

Also in this release we have another book scanned by @WhatHoSnorkers. This time it's The Spectrum 128 Companion. James also typed in Lights Out! from Sinclair Programs

The latest ZXDB update has been applied. I've also taken the opportunity to run a package update on our Ubuntu Server.

I will have a check @pavero, but I may have removed them.

Thanks @Einar Saukas,

I will update the site on Monday.

how it is denied when it's free on the official page Whilst we sometimes forget, we generally don't host game files of any type when the title is hosted on itch.io unless we have the authors permission. Often the author just wants one central place for files so they can keep track of stuff. We incl...

Hi @saucysarah,

Looking at the server, the file has been renamed which is why you can't download it. @pavero looks after rzx files so I'm not going to touch it, but he should be able to look at it when he is next logged in.

Thanks for the report. I see you are referring to the show all votes link on the individual entries page.

Thanks
Peter

Really enjoy your games.

Thanks for joining.

Evening @GreenCard,

Nice to have another Linux User!

From memory there are two versions in the Ubuntu repositories. Gtk and SDL. The SDL version is full screen only and I believe it shows the correct perspective.

Very nice to see the Death Squad back @Andre Leao

English version of this free magazine released. Little or no Spectrum content, but still a great read.
