Wow, you will be very busy during this year, that's for sure!
Good luck with all your projects, surely they will all be great...

There used to be a zx81 emulator for the Spectrum, but as luck would have it, I have forgotten its name and I kind find it now. That was in the mid 90s. It ran superbly.

Rod Bell does make requests too. Hehe, it is not a request, it is just a thought! I think of giving you ideas to keep or reject ...

I chose nr.20, the famous QBERT, because it's one of my most beloved arcades since I was a child and I enjoy playing it in any flavor... I think it's one of the most influential old arcades and it's been converted/adapted in almost any platform Of course the 1k Zeddy version is missing the original ...

Please don't let anything I say put you off. I just wanted to give you a few pointers that's all. The joy of doing a project to completion doesn't matter if any body else wants it because it is for your satisfaction of a job well done,the journey and problem solving along the way, and remember ther...
