Early tests for Glove cover formatting. Yes I was imagining what a Speccy version would be like. 😊

Early cover attempt, back when I thought Bipboi had a jetpack. 😂(Graz)

Just a quick 2019 update....! We have a stack of new tape releases set for the coming months. Spectrum releases: Cosmium's unreleased 1989 game QUADRON, Jonathan Cauldwell's EGGHEAD GOES TO TOWN (Egghead 6), Andy Remic's BIOHELL plus the ZX81 release of Simeon Dwyer's BERZXERK. Also, we have reissues to begin with, of the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 and Spectrum versions of the original STRANDED, which hasn't been available for many years, for those that have missed it.

AGDXmas Community Jam : SNOWED UNDER game
Message from Allan Turvey :
ok chaps, so we're teaming up with Simon Ullyatt at Cronosoft to make a digital download of Snowed Under, and all proceeds will go to Crisis, a charity that helps homeless people who are on their own at this time of year.
... We'd love to get more people to come on board and contribute sprites and levels - the hard work is done, it's as easy as building with lego. Join us in the AGDX user group for more info.

So sad to hear about the passing of Sinclair designer Rick Dickinson. Only saw him at Spectrum 35 in Cambridge last year. :( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-4390 7248

A question.... Is there anyone here that has any contact details for Matthew Smith, of Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy fame? The situation is, that Cronosoft would desperately like to gain permission to release Steve McCrea's newly written Vic 20 version of Manic Miner on cassette. I spent quite a lot of time with him back in 2004 the day before the CGE event in Croydon, but haven't spoken since then. I know he's appeared in Retro Gamer, and on the Bedroom to Billions documentary, but haven't heard much since. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful if they could PM me. Many thanks, Simon at Cronosoft. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mq4n40TO pc&t=33s
