Hey guys, so just a heads up, CRASH 34 will be a little delayed this month. We're a small team at CRASH Towers and a mix of work obligations and personal events have conspired to knock us off course. Rest assured though, it's all written, I just have to assemble it into a magazine. 😉

A very happy 44th birthday to the Rubber Keyed Wonder! Hard to imagine just how big a part of my life this little computer has played. Work, play, friends and family. All touched by my love of this little machine! 🎉

There's a few games I can fire up and just pick up like it was 35 years ago. Batman: The Movie is very possibly peak Ocean. The platforming levels were well designed and well balanced. The arcade and puzzle levels were clever and it looked and sounded great. I still speedrun it every year. 🕹️

It is the eve before I start the layout on CRASH 31! Some great games this month. We're finally checking out Speccy Saga and the intriguing S1nclair C1ty, our very own Cyberpunk action adventure. We're also catching up on the ZX Touch, to see how it's evolved. I'll share updates as I go. 👍

CRASH 30 is wrapped and it's stuffed tighter than Wally’s Christmas stocking! We've got reviews (Asymmetry, Magenta Sky & Zak McDrucken etc.), a look at the Currah Microspeech, an interview with Chris Hinsley and an Investigation into what Spectrum devs were paid back in the day.

So which of this month's games are you enjoying? Bubble In Trouble is a clever little game. Telethugs is fun too, gives me a Robocop 2 vibe. Paulo always delivers great work. I'd love a proper game in the style of the original Robocop though. It seems Zosya were working on one: is.gd/nnE1wM

Hey CRASH fans! Issue 28 will be with you by the end of the week. This month we've got more Sam Fox than you can wiggle a joystick at! She's the cover star and we've given her the centre spread to celebrate her new game, Pin-Up Poker! We're also interviewing Paul Holmes, so get your bomb vests on!

Work begins on CRASH 27! Already locked are interviews with legendary dev, Sandy White whilst industrious electronics engineer, Goran, shares the story of how the ZX Touch went from concept to product. The reviews are already looking strong with at least one Smash amongst them. See you soon. 👍
