I rest my case with the evidence before you.

The panel where we talk about all things ZX Spectrum Next at Crash Live!

Now that's a crowd!!!

The ZX Spectrum Next as an arcade machine. Who would have imagined that?

The legendary Simon Goodwin attracts an audience with his technical insights on the ZX Spectrum Next at Crash Live!

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

Old memories, new games, even new mags!

All things ZX Spectrum happening at Crash Live! right now, and the Spectrum Next has its very own special corner!

Wait, in BASIC? Was there a BASIC for the Cray? And the IBM 370?

Today's haul: a mint Speccy that looks like it just came out of Sinclair's factory and a signed copy of Zynaps.

A very happy Sunday.

Thanks Chris @gamesyouloved.bsky.social and Andrew Hewson!!!

Nursing a cold with my dog faithfully playing nurse. She hasn't left my side since the first cough. We really don't deserve dogs.

I think he's referring to Car Builder for the Apple II, which did indeed feature a car that is, well, the Cybertruck itself.

Japan is on a league of its own when the airport lounge features an arcade.

I rest my case.

The owner of this Commodore Amiga store in Tokyo, whose door still features GVP and Video Toaster stickers, used to sell Amigas in Japan back when.

I've just walked into him closing the store to head to a filming, he's a video maker now.

What serendipity!

Mr. Purple meets Col. Mustard at the Library.

Surely these guys can afford better haircare.

Oh, look, Takeru! Chose what software you want, drop in some coins and the machine gives you a floppy full of your goodies.

Peak retro. Peak MSX.

I don't always need mosquito repellent, but when I do, it has to be this badass.

We could have called it purple, we could have called it violet, but true ZX Spectrum fans knows it could only be called 'Magenta'.

And yes, it's colour #3 on the Speccy, to go along with the Issue 3 of the ZX Spectrum Next.

See what we did there?
