Do you mean a feature similar to the one you did for AGD games last year? That would allow me to insert screenshots as well as text.

If anyone has any good speccy trivia questions could they PM them to me. I'm thinking interesting questions that could cover anything from magazines to games to BASIC - just nothing too obscure or technical.

(Not guess the game from the graphic - that's covered)

By the way Mr-Tape, my submission may not be completely finished yet. I omitted an alternate tile set that I'd like to include to add some variety. Also, dya fancy drawing some Christmas themed tiles? Go on, you know you want to ;) (you probably don't).

I'm just putting out another call for good Sinclair trivia questions. Thanks for the ones so far.

I'd like it to be pretty quickfire - so the player shouldn't have to check the web for every question. Good questions are "rrgggh I know this one" types or ones that can be worked out with what most will already know.

If you have a good idea for one that needs a graphic or sound let me know too. I might be able to include it.

(PM please, keep them secret)

Just putting out a last call for stuff. If anyone has any fun/funny/interesting SCREEN$ could they let me know over the next couple of weeks. Have a look at side 2 from last year's Woot for ideas of what I'm after.

Release will be around the middle of December. Standalone submissions that I don't need to do any work can come very close to the deadline.

If anyone's up for writing between 150 - 300 entertaining words on the best speccy text adventure of 2019 could they give me a shout :)

Many of you will be familiar with Viz's Top Tips (here are some samples if you're not—basically they're very silly, and hopefully equally funny tips).

I'd like Woot to include some Sinclair related ones in the same vein. So if you have an idea for one, or some, please PM me :) (no guarantees I can include everything).

Woot is nearly here! I think it'll be available Sunday or Monday.

One thing—I might not use AY music with the magazine part. Firstly because I don't have a track! But also there are some interludes where the beeper is important, and the flow of the magazine might get disrupted.

I could easily mute the AY of course, so if anyone has an AY track they think would fit the magazine really well, let me know.

I have convinced one of the best current musicians for the spectrum to provide some tunes 😉

Nearly! It's collated and with Einar, he's updating ZXDB, then Peter needs to update SC. It'll be tomorrow now by the looks of it.

Whatever happens it'll be out tomorrow latest one way or another.
