Nextduino XL magenta It is used to play TZX files (games and apps) from a MicroSD card through an audio cable into where the tape deck would normally plugin, thus eliminating the need for a 30-year-old tape deck. Find your favourite game or app in TZX or TAP file format, commonly used by ZX81 and ZX Spectrum Computers, copy it to the SD card, and the rest is straightforward. For those with built-in cassettes, we offer a cassette converter for the standalone version. Use a mono 3.5mm audio cable. The 2025 version features a PCB with 95% SMD components, all manufactured in the factory as a single unit. Complete with sd card and usb power cable (which is usually separate!)

Now, in cooperation with SpecNext Ltd, W.A.S.PSTUDIO is bringing this iconic martial arts game back with an “extra kick”! Based on the never-released Amiga version graphics by Steven Day, streamlined and enhanced for the ZX Spectrum Next, this game is sure to demonstrate that the Next is indeed an Amiga Killer!

Baggers in Space: The Detour – Physical Edition – Preorder “Here we go again!” Looks like Baggers is lost again! So, what happened this time? After sitting at home and twiddling his magic thumbs, he decided that another space trip was long overdue. It was not very long into his journey that he saw a sign indicating a detour, and not giving it too much thought, he plots a course in the direction shown. As he merrily ventured forth, he was taken aback by the beauty of a pretty wormhole, and flies in for closer look… Join “Baggers” in his final adventure and in his toughest challenge yet… Compatibility: ZX Spectrum Next, N-Go, X-Berry Pi, MiST(er), other systems are untested. This title supports play at 50/60hz, though 60hz is recommended. Check here for download edition:  Please note this is a preorder and will be delivered as soon as it's available!
