I didn't use it directly but it helped spur on the competition with acorn and the BBC micro that did change my life, I didn't appreciate the ZX at the time but have grown to love it and the impact it had.

Simpler for eBay to make more profit, companies always disguise a terrible experience for users behind catchy marketing 🤪🤬

Clever use of palette change part way down the screen to make more visible colours than the usual 4 available in mode 1, this was a popular game for the high score competition on stardot

Highlight for me, a friend and I played this many nights and weekends until completion, great game then and still fun to play, difficult yes but ultra engaging and rich in gameplay and mystery.

A Level 2.5 teletext page with a dark green background on which there a spread of five playing cards. The top-most card on the right is the ten of clubs, the cards underneath are the jack of clubs, queen of clubs, king of clubs and the ace of clubs. The clubs on the cards are not blocky but are high resolution images courtesy of DRCS character definitions.

QTeletextMaker v0.8-beta released. The Level 2.5 #teletext editor now renders DRCS characters and slightly improved diacritical'd G0 capital letters.

Grab a Windows exe from the zip at github.com/gkthemac/QTe... (mind the SmartScreen warnings!) or compile the source on Linux with #Qt6 and CMake.

Breaking news... Greedy CEO teaches boy that dishonesty and stealing are core values of a successful career 😜

Latest version of BeebEm available. Without such great work as this I don't think I'd even attempt any retro development as such.

It's done! I have just released the Compendium version of #Elite for the #Acorn #Electron.

This massively enhanced version of the original game contains pretty much every feature of #BBCMicro Elite, but on the Electron. Just add 16K of sideways RAM.

Links in thread.

Feature list for the Compendium version of Acorn Electron Elite

My new version of #Acorn #Electron #Elite is feature-complete! Now for some testing.

Here's the feature list. It’s big! Big enough that this is effectively a Compendium version of Electron Elite; to sit proudly alongside the #BBCMicro Compendia. 🫡

Not long now!

My favourite musician that ever lived just died 😭. Rest in peace Sylvester Stewart!
I will never forget the first time I heard 'You can make it if you try'. It was one of the best moments in my life and I will never forget that feeling. Fly high Sly! #slystone

Electroniq WIP. New and improved version online. Now handles anything a real Acorn Electron can (famous last words). If you don't get a stable 50fps (looking at you Firefox) please try a different browser (or system 😉). Any issues? Let me know here or on github... 0xc0de6502.github.io/electroniq/
