Stuck in the late 1980s messing around with a ZX Spectrum.
All aboard! The Last Express is ready for testing!
Paris, July 24, 1914. We are excited to announce that Jordan Mechner's acclaimed real-time adventure The Last Express is now ready for testing in ScummVM!
Step into the shoes of Robert Cath, an American doctor on the run from murder charges, as he boards the legendary Orient Express for what would be its final journey before the outbreak of World War I.
@kianryan went well then? 😬☹️
@gamingonlinux Yay! Plus realised my GOG version of the 20th anniversary has ADF images of the Amiga version that seem to work in ScummVM daily build.
A whole new world. A new fantastic point of view.
A young physics professor named Lester conducts a particle experiment. Suddenly, something goes wrong, lightning strikes, and in a moment Lester finds himself in a strange alien world.
Now he must fight for his life in this strange place. Luckily, he'll find help along the way..
The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for Out of this World (aka Another World).
@kianryan let’s hope it’s delayed or lost in the post … more time to relax.
Nano probe kits back in stock.
Great for debugging your project, on your desk, without resorting to the "big" Oscilloscope, power and leads.
Ideal for basic debugging of GPIO issues.

@RobeeShepherd rude! 😬
@amoroso it seems a bit like heresy emulating the main competitor from the same time on a Sinclair machine. Again, wasn’t rich enough to have a C64 as a kid and not dabbled with emulation much.
@millihertz I wasn’t rich enough as a kid to see or use the QL and never dabbled with emulation either … seems now could be the time
Am I a traitor if I say ‘yes please’ to the C64 core on my ZX Spectrum Next? Never really used a C64 when a wee nipper …
Ooooo, new #inkle goodies arrived in the post this morning. Still working through the game, mainly translating the ancient script very badly.
I’m sure I have the first two books somewhere waiting in my backlog … one day maybe …

A new TNFS server emerges! Get your Spectranet device pointing at zx.jimblimey.com, and don't worry if you don't have one you can still explore my place from the comfort of your web browser!
@RobeeShepherd You’ll need a bigger house now 🙃
Just thinking another headline that will appear … “major blackout reported on the IOW due to monster speaker being powered up“.
@RobeeShepherd bloody hell, look at the size of that! I foresee the breakfast news tomorrow with the headline “major earthquake recorded with epicentre on the Isle of Wight”
@jimblimey envious! Tinkered a bit in fuse with the emulation but it’s not quite the same as real hardware
@RobeeShepherd surely we can blame the British weather for a change 😉
The Minstrel 4th stock is due in tomorrow, so the listing is now live on z80kits for anybody that wants a lovely Forth powered Z80 computer kit.

@RobeeShepherd strangely I had an update on Elite Dangerous when I fired up the Windows machine at the weekend, haven’t seen one for a while as I’m pretty sure I’m a bit behind on addons / releases.
They definitely chug away here but get there eventually …
