The only vaguely positive thing you can say about this is that it only lasted for a month. Still preposterous that this should happen in 1991
Memories of November 1991: So what did Crash do now they have their first female Editor? They put a drawing of her without her top on in her first Letters pages… Even without a bonkers cover tape, Crash had (1/2) #zxspectrum #retrogaming

Hello! Do any of my followers happen to have a copy of Sega Force #15 (March 1993) that they could sell or provide some high res scans of a couple pages? Please let me know!

That the ZX Spectrum is so alive and so well is heartwarming.

Old memories, new games, even new mags!

Popping up to Crash Live 2025 in Kenilworth tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to the train journey, but really looking forward to catching up with friends, meeting new people - and hopefully squeezing in a bit of gaming for a break! 🙂

The Russian ZX Spectrum scene of the mid-late 90s is fascinating. With more powerful computers expensive and out-of-reach for most, there was a scene of dedicated strategy fans bringing demakes and unique versions of Civilization, Master of Orion, and XCOM to ZX Speccy 'Pentagon' clones.

I was given this poster along with other goodies at my YTS job interview with what became of Design Design. Quite exciting for a 16yo with no idea of what to do with himself having left school.

The picture is of Ellesmere Port and was hastily taken by one of team from a nearby bridge.
