Enjoying Avowed

Please welcome into the world, PSOne UrbX Warriors :) It's soo cute 🥰😆

It's been a busy week for On The ZX Spectrum - Magic Knights (Patreons) will get the MK Extra (with two interviews) at 5pm tomoz along with a video drop. Then next week, they'll get the Nextra Extra with another Next dev interview and a rather frightening/amusing (delete as applicable) video!

On The ZX Spectrum and Nextra are free newsletters for fans of the ZX Spectrum and Next. Sign up here: onthezxspectrum.eo.page/onthezxspect... Want more Speccy love? You can sign up to become a Magic Knight Patreon, with more newsletters and exclusive vids: www.patreon.com/c/OnTheZXSpe...
