Monochrome Issue 3 by Yerzmyey

posted by nix./site


A new issue of a ZX81-related magazine has been released last month, although it's better late than to never see it, right? So look it up here.

Among other stuff, a review of several ZX81 games and demos (mostly done by Revival Studios) and about ZONXplorer, a new TurboSound interface.

Spectrumpedia by Alessandro Grussu

posted by nix./site


CoverThis book written by Alessandro Grussu is available in both paperback and PDF formats. While the first can be bought for 36 euros from one of four available bookshops, the latter can be downloaded for free from the WoS Infoseek Database.

You can also use the 1:1 mirror on Speccy Live.

Its' only drawback so far is that it's available in Italian only, and that the English translation is currently on hold, but it still might be a great read for everyone who loves Speccy wholeheartedly.

Burn The Lighter #1, finally available in English

posted by nix./site


Oh yup. Right on my birthday. Thanks to sq. :)

So, there is a couple of versions you may download and read straight away: a clear and pure TAP file, with the help of which you can port the diskmag to your favourite disk system; and a TZX file, made for the cases when you try to load the TAP, but something goes terribly wrong and the mag doesn't run.

Burn The Lighter 1 ENG SplashBurn The Lighter 1 ENG Page 1Burn The Lighter 1 ENG Page 2

Hotkeys you definitely WILL need:

  • Hold Caps Shift during the loading process if you're willing to use your beloved Kempston pest.
  • The "1" key will make the whole text colored in a whole one shade, in case if you can't stand the flicker. Same for the "4" key, except it still keeps most of the text colored in different ways.
  • In the same fashion, "2" changes the background color. :)

Well, that's all you need to know. Look for the links above and enjoy your stay at our cafe. More coming soon.
