He has just started a series taking a deep dive into #ZXspectrum compilations.

Really enjoyed part 1: Now Games, check it out & give him a follow.

Not surprisingly, spare keys are few and far between! 😃

I might try to 3D print some some day at this rate! First, I’ll get it to boot properly, that might be a good idea! 😂

I don’t suppose you have any spare key caps do you? I’m missing a couple of keys from my ‘32.

I’ve tried to watch this a few times but clicking the thumbnail doesn’t do anything in Chrome or Safari.
Do you have the direct YT link handy, please? 🙂

An animated loop basd on the games of the ZX Spectrum 8 bit micro from the 1980s

This was made in photoshop and Blender and just a fun little tribute to my all time favourite home computer

The moment you’ve all (sort of) been waiting for: Part 2 of the workshop build video is here!

Timber. Tools. Seth’s eyebrows. My optimism vs the bank balance. Who’ll win? Poverty most probably but let's go!
