TS-Conf prods page released!

posted by TS-Labs

We made it finally!

During recent years a bunch of people wrote demos, games, utilities for still controversial but tasty-looking platform - TS-Configuration for ZX-Evolution computer. All prods were carefully stored all around HDDs and sites, where they lied about until now. Now they gathered in one place.

Thanks to Hacker VBI who helped a lot with design and PHP programming.

Thanks to all those people who supported TS-Conf for years. You simply rock!
