Games loading from TZXDuino on my Jupiter Ace worked only when oscilloscope was connected. A simple 3k resistor mod and now its loading perfectly from the TZXDuino. Also loading many games is a two part affair with the graphics and then the game. See here retronerd.co.uk/building-a-j...

Sprite masking gave Spectrum games their unique look, and as mentioned by Kevin, involves storing and writing out twice the sprite data, once for the mask, and again for the graphic data, so was slower than just XOR or writing the sprite to the screen (Booty is a good example of that)...

Hypertext was a product of the 60s... because its spiritual and technical precursor, the Mundaneum institute's Universal Decimal Classification, was functionally destroyed by the Nazis razing Belgium in 1940.

It's movie night once again and I introduced the missus to Fantastic Voyage 1966. Great film, still, but such an abrupt ending. We don't don't even find out if they saved the patient!

Just received my water rates bill from Yorkshire Water - an increase per month - £60 to £81! Does anyone remember the time when we thought a £5 per month increase was extortionate?
