END OF WEEK 48: Two weeks to go! As the competition runs into its final phase, the entries have started to come flooding in... (1) Earlier this week there was Salvador Camacho's Highway Robbery 2021 , which brought the total of ZX81 entries up to 14. (2) Hot off the press: Dave Hughes has taken a b...

What dividends there have been for aficionados of the ZX81. I wanted to break the record for the number of entries this year. Never mind that, I've doubled it . That's right, the first submission after the initial deadline - and I remind you all there will be no extensions beyond 17th December - is ...

Wait, what? There I was thinking that was monochrome Spectrum graphics. If this really is for the Lambda, Mark... crack on! I want this one for this year!

END OF WEEK 45: It's all been put into sharp perspective. When I'm posting these weekly round-ups, I start at Spectrum Computing, move onto World of Spectrum, then here, then the QL Forum, unless I've had a QL submission in which case I'll go there before here. Opening the SC forum, I was greeted w...

AND ALSO, the target of 50 games has NOT been reached yet at this point...
