gamesTM and the Sinclair ZX81

Way back in 2007, I wrote an article for a UK published magazine called gamesTM about the Sinclair ZX81. Does anyone have a copy of the "Zeddy" issue? I ask as I've found an old pen drive that has the original article on before I submitted it to Darran Jones at (I think it was at the time) Paragon Publishing.

Also I assume the copyright has reverted to me after all this time. So anyone interested in me attaching the original files here?

Regards,

Shaun.

Unfortunately the original images submitted with the article are not included on the pen drive, but here's the WordPad document.

Sorry in advance for any technical mistakes or mis-information. As I recall, I only had ~2 weeks to write and submit it (although it's quite a short piece).

Regards,

Shaun.

Additional information - according to the invoices that I found, I wrote for gamesTM issues 32, 34, 35 and 36 so the Zeddy article will be in one of them.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Thanks for the private message gammaray regarding feedback.

I've just realised that I wrote this article in 2005, not the 2007 time stamp on the pen drive.

Regards,

Shaun.

I have just messaged gamesTM on Facebook - apparently 1st November will be their final issue, so I asked if they would consider uploading the magazines to the internet to form an archive ! I also asked if they had PDFs of the issues you mention.
