Beautiful!

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

A ZX Spectrum loading gets you right in the feels.

(Warning, horrendously obnoxious beeps.)

Oh, I completely forgot to mention here that I have done some small changes to the games on my Itch (system6302.itch.io) earlier in the month!

Emphasis on "small," but I figured out a glitch effect that I really like.

Thank you @merman1974.bsky.social and @retrogamermag.bsky.social for the opportunity to talk about my games in the latest issue of Retro Gamer!

Sir Clive Sinclair 30 July 1940 - 16 September 2021

The legendary Sir Clive Sinclair died four years ago today. RIP Uncle Clive.

Many, many hours I've spent programming this game, it'll soon be available for download on itch.io

Happy birthday!

Today is the 50th anniversary of the release of the greatest album of all time.

In our new game we have added a room as a tribute to its opening track.

Also a little Wall & Dark side reference in there too, maybe we should put Battersea Power Station & a flying pig in for good measure.

Spectrum Computing Here, we present a collection of re-recorded RZX Playback videos. We are deeply grateful to the late Daren Pearcy for his dedication to the RZX format, and this channel serves as our tribute to his me...

Hey CRASH readers, just to let you know there's been a few hiccups on the Patreon side this month, but CRASH 29 is now available. It's absolutely packed this month, with the mind blowing Cubix taking centre stage:

There's a preview in the latest Crash of the #ZXSpectrum game we've been working at on & off for ages.

It's a sequel to Forward to the Past, called "BubbleBack" (not Bubblejack 🤦)

No release date yet as there's a few last minute hiccups. But will release as soon as we can, hopefully this month.
