Our issue 6 cover was incredibly topical on Friday, but less so now. But unlike the World Cup Final, BreakSpace 6 is entertaining all the way through, not just for the last bit. And we promise not to punch you after you finish reading. breakspace.itch.io/break-space-... #retro #spectrum #gaming
One of our favourite ZX Spectrum games in issue 6 was Wacky Robot, a tough arcade platformer available from cronosoft.itch.io/wacky-robot-... or physically on cassette tape from Cronosoft cronosoft.fwscart.com Here's what Phil South had to say. Full review at breakspace.itch.io/break-space-...
