Oh here, as there's loads of new people on here now & we don't have pinned posts it might be time for an introduction.
My name's Dave & I'm a huge fan of the #ZXSpectrum
During lockdown I started making Speccy games with my son on MPAGD. They're all available for free here: sloanysoft.itch.io

As seen in our latest issue, the ZX Load museum is on the lookout for one of these Cambridge square satellite dishes, as modelled here by the lovely Clive.
Have you spotted one? Let us know.

Anybody interested in buying a boxed Atari 7800 (with a 2600 Harmony cart) or a C64 mini, before I go to eBay? (Which I really can't face the hassle of)

If anyone wants to see the whole Elden Ring Journal (it only covers Limgrave, really), then here's a downloadable PDF of the booklet that I put together of the first 64 pages, scanned and cleaned up. A printed version of this was given out as a free gift for @lostincult.co.uk Lock On subscribers.
