SAM Videos on YouTube
Nick Humphries sorted out an audiovideo-capture setup combined with SimCoupe to produce a set of videos which are the highlights of his memories of being a SAM user from the (almost) very start, right up to SAMCo going under.
You can find the YouTube Playlist at YouTube.
There should be something for everyone there.

The Top 50 Underappreciated ZX Spectrum Games
The humble ZX Spectrum was home to some remarkable games - including these underappreciated masterpieces...
Read the article by Simon Brew about great Speccy games. Great but underappreciated.
Brand New Game: Gem Chaser
Gem Chaser - a frantic 70 level arcade/platform/puzzle game by Bob Smith and Andrew Owen.
Collect the gems which are the same colour as you, then change colour to collect more - all to be completed within a set time limit.
Warning - this is not an easy game!
“We are alive!” [TAP, TRD]
The demo by Gemba Boys finally available in native Speccy formats: TAP and TRD. Enjoy.
New Demo for SAM Coupé
David Brant released the demo that he did a while ago. It's based on Colin Piggot's Fido demo. But uses external memory for extra speed and 1 pixel scroll. It was going to be in his mag but don't think it's going to happen.
He wrote it to show how to get the most from JAM Assembler. It works with only internal memory as well.
Brand New Game: Toofy’s Winter Nuts
The game has been created by Paul Jenkinson with AGD (Arcade Games Designer).
Toofy needs to collect enough nuts to make it through but the nasty squirrels have raided his store and stolen them. Guide Toofy as he tries to reclaim his nuts and survive the winter.
Spiffy 0.6.7 Released
Spiffy is 48k Spectrum emulator, for Linux.
Improvements in 0.6.7:
- Significantly improves audio handling - hopefully no more skipping and glitching.
- Also, the drainpipe-O-matic audio is less filtered now.
- A graphics glitch on 64-bit machines was fixed.
Since GitHub have stopped allowing binary package uploads, the prebuilt binaries are now hosted on the Spiffy page. Official WOS thread is here.
The Unreleased Saboteur 3: Q&A With Mike Richardson
Saboteur 3 page has been updated with an archive of graphics salvaged from Mike Richardson's microdrive cartridges.
For anyone who's interested, here is a quick Q&A with Mike about the game (some of this appeared in an unreleased Spectrum games feature which appeared in Retro Gamer magazine a year or two back).
MetroSpec: ZX Spectrum 16/48K Emulator for Windows Phone 7/8
MetroSpec V1.3 was actually launched in September 2012, and most recently in the last couple of days the V1.5 update has been released.
There are two versions of MetroSpec. The free version has ads, a max of two pinned tiles, an import limit, and 1 minute audio limit per game session. The paid for version costs 79p, and removes all of these limitations.
