If you want to learn more about these computers and the people behind it that beat Commodore, Apple and Tandy to the market but still lost out—there’s a Kickstarter for a book about Sphere Computers going on right now, they could use a few more supporters.

Ha ha never saw that review for Hidden City back in the day - better than it deserved I think
Mr Spectrum Nez elsewhere spotted the new goal at the point the team breach the most successful KS - you still have this weekend to back!
The one in which I talk about the success of the ZX Spectrum Next Issue 3 Kickstarter and what's around the corner.
After 6 months of updates, the new Retro.Directory 2.0 is now live packed with loads of exciting updates, features and improvements...

It’s a great utility for looking at databases - if people are going to cheat when playing then they only disappoint themselves - I learned a lot of my coding by taking apart other games and the zx81 rom! Just make sure all bundled software has the relevant pointers to current licences.
What a great video - who knew… John always has a great sense of humour
The start of a big adventure!
This lovable little Spectrum has embarked on a trip around the world where it will visit many retro and vintage tech people along the way.
Started off by @2600.me who handed it to me, it's visited the @retrocollective.co.uk and is now in the safe hands of YARC Todd.
Ach ja, wir waren in Swindon und jetzt gibts dazu auch einen kleinen Bericht:

Hotel room trying to kill me.
AMAZING Retro Festival.
Superb fun!

All set up at @shortcircuit.org.uk ‘s RetroFest in Swindon :)
It’s a sold out Saturday here at #retrofest2025 I have brought along an array of video game consoles that wish they were computers.
Come along to Swindon tomorrow if you’re free.
Casually running Solaris Acrobat on a Sun Ultra 80, with the display routed to an SGI Indigo 2 running IRIX.

It's just one week to go! It's getting full, though. We have more tickets available for Sunday, and it’ll be almost exactly* the same wonderful exhibitors. If you’re just coming one day, please consider coming Sunday, to ensure everyone gets to come to our event! www.retrofest.uk/tickets.php
Do you need some teletext advertising? 😄
The physicality of computing used to be so satisfying.The clunk of closing the drive lock, the click of the on/off button, the scritching of the dot matrix printer, the zzzip as you pull off the tractor feeds, the snik snik of the floppy door snapping shut. The squeaky zipzip of the hard drive. Sigh
Is this another assertion that a famous actor is maybe coming along?
Isambard Kingdom Brunel would like to remind you that it's just TWO WEEKS until RetroFest! retrofest.uk
I am ridiculously excited to see this. It's one of those machines I was just sure I would never see in the flesh. 6803 and 8088 CPUs, maybe only 125 built. More info here - randoc.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/m... - thanks to @retrokrazy.bsky.social for bringing it!
Well that’s the Adventure corner setup for ZZAP this weekend in Kenilworth - come chat to us about games old and new… in the museum room!
