Re: Space Invaders
I had the DK graphics board back in the day, I think it was what killed my Zeddy as it did not fit in the case etc so left it very vulnerable. I did try to redefine the graphics for Galaxians, but as they used part blocks for the "sprites" it was not possible in the end.

Re: Hullo, I'm a 50 yr old ex spectrum owner making a zx80

Re: Weird fault on Harlequin 128k ZX Spectrum...Help!
Is this Composite or S-video?
I get some horrible glitching on one TV only when using S-Video, I have assumed it's the TV.

Re: Maplin Extendiboard for projects

Wish I still had them, but they did not survive the repeated moves from one digs to another :( The Mapin shop in Nottingham was good but parking was a nightmare. The later shop that opened in Mansfi...
