How can a games journalist trace Nintendo's history to the Switch, trying to predict the Switch 2, and not mention *any* of their portables: Gameboy, DS, 3DS... And the Switch *is* a portable! That's THE lineage, not the NES, Cube or Wii. Bizarre. www.nytimes.com/video/arts/1...

Holy heck! KS3 announced for the ZX Spectrum Next, with new functionality - a fully licensed (ROM wise) Commodore 64 core!!! The core will come later to KS2 and KS1 machines, but this is excellent news, and brings more functionality to a quality bit of kit. www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

How cool and humbling it is to see a bunch of cool games made and being sold for the machine you helped create. We are now past the #200 games mark made for the ZX Spectrum Next! #retrogaming #retrocomputing #retrogames

Had a blast speaking at RetCon about the ZX Spectrum Next, its future and community. Love the retrocomputing folks, always a great crowd.

I'm tempted to set up a LoRa radio BBS in Central London. Any takers? Should we convert Trade Wars to run on it? spectrum.ieee.org/run-a-meshta...
