💾 Ejercitando la paciencia con Manic Miner en verano https://56k.es/fanta/ejercitando-la-paciencia-con-manic-miner-en-verano/
Boby grabó en lo que sobraba de la Cara A con su cassette doble pletina el juego «Manic Miner». Lo grabó también en la cara B por aquello de tener otra copia de seguridad.
Boby era buena gente pero realmente «no tenía muchas luces», no era «el lápiz más afilado del estuche» .... #xz #spectrum #zxspectrum #manicminer #zx80

Forty-six years ago today, Clive Sinclair announced the ZX80. Thanks in no small part to an ocean between us and Cambridge, we didn’t have one until much later in 1980.
My dad loved hacking and souping up his ZX80. Through hindsight and the lens of my being a father, I understand that he got even more enjoyment by sharing it and standing back to see what I did.
Thanks for your amazing little white box, Sir Clive. And for the wonderful memories, Dad.

Early morning #ZXSpectrum gaming here at FREEZE Towers…
I adore this game. It’s a bloomin’ fun game to play and it looks fabulous! It will be making an appearance in FREEZE-ZX issue 02, along with something a little exclusive.

Лучшие игры легендарной машины: 45 лет назад на свет появилась линейка компьютеров ZX
Sinclair ZX80 по праву считается одним из родоначальников персональной компьютерной революции. Начало R&D-проекта по созданию ZX80 положено в 1979 году, когда Клайв Синклер совместно с командой инженеров приступил к проектированию. Через год мир увидел ZX81. Инженеры Sinclair буквально выжали максимум из него, стремясь удержать минимальную стоимость устройства. А в 1982 году произошел прорыв – свет увидел ZX Spectrum, ставший впоследствии культовой моделью 1980-х годов, сыгравшей ключевую роль в революции, благодаря которой компьютеры впервые появились в домах британцев. Игры для ZX Spectrum загружались с помощью кассетного проигрывателя и выводились на экран телевизора. В отличие от своего монохромного предшественника, они были цветными. Давайте вспомним несколько наиболее – на мой взгляд – знаковых и популярных тайтлов игровой индустрии этой легендарной серии. LOAD ""

Excerpt from an advertisement for the #Sinclair #Zx80. Its success surprised even Uncle Clive, who expected to sell around 20,000 computers with a bit of luck and ended up selling more than 50,000, despite its numerous shortcomings. But 45 years ago, it was impossible to get more for less. #retrocomputing

I limit the number of hashtags I follow here to single numbers as I can't add hashtags to lists.
That means the output is all on the main following feed & I can't cope with the sensory overload.
eg, I'd like to follow #speccy #Spectrum #ZXSpectrum #ZX80 #ZX81 & have their output in my 8 Bit & Retrotech list, not on main. It's normal to do this with individual accounts/groups, but because I can't do it with lists I don't follow any of them.

The campaign for the ESP32 Rainbow ZX-Spectrum is now online! That keyboard is even more cost effective than the original I guess :D
Or you can just play doom on it, apparently.
