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

Sloane, America's Sexiest Superagent. 😎
A Man Called Sloane - late seventies Bond ripoff when Bond was already more or less ripping itself off as it was, featuring a blatant Tee-Hee tribute act and countless computers with big spools of tape, which changed entirely between pilot and series.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Today my really funky cassette storage rack from Ronnie Simpson arrived & I absolutely LOVE it! Such a cool little display case, can highly recommend
He doesn't seem to have a website or anything, but can be contacted on Facebook, dunno if the following link works:

Right, I've pulled my finger out and got my cards sorted. Hand drawn A6 greetings cards. So un-ai they aren't even printed. Every one a unique work of daft art. Order now in time for Christmas, just not too many or it'll hurt my hand! happytoast.co.uk/cards/

It's the 97th anniversary of Steamboat Willie, the perfect excuse to crack out a bit of Sloanysoft's award winning "Jet Set Steamboat Willie"...or it would be if itch.io wasn't down due to this Cloudflare nonsense.

Absolutely wiped now, but that will live long in the memory.
