New blog post - the repair of a Commodore PET 3032 board with no video output. blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2026/07/comm... Also a capacitor that is looking decidedly unwell.
It's a console, it was always locked down, nothings really changed, they were always using you a cash point.
Have a FB account for friend reasons, but f*&k, so over It: Seems you're male, a certain age, here's some brainless USA guy to follow who's anti everything and extra anti others. Oh and by the way this is a rando UK guy with a Nigel fetish. (End Rant, back to fun normal stuff)
Classic or Enhanced? There's now a choice in versions: with the update of v1.04 there is an aditional option of User Defined Graphics with Colour. The ZIP file contains both versions. zx81keyboardadventure.itch.io/zevious-seven #ZX81 #retrogaming #indiedev

How about Zevious Seven with colour and UDGs? Kmurta over at Sinclair ZX World has added those very things. If you have UDG for Zxpand and a Chroma-81, or a good emulator. youtu.be/_zrymZB13oQ?... #ZX81 #Retrogaming #homebrew

It is Still Raining (sequel to The Darkest Dusk) | The work in progress continues
#ZX81 Game development for Orphion Seven (or Zevious or ZXevious): Got the First Level finalised and 4 to 6 to go depending on space. Added some gun overheating, and a few bug fixes. The itself seems to pay really well after the bug fixes (I can't stop playing at least).
A bit of extra work over the weeked on Orpion Seven for the #ZX81. Managed just enough extra speed to make some ZONX-81 sound action possible. Updated some the other graphic elements also.
#ZX81 game development: Orphion Seven testing update: now running with some actual level data and replacing the placeholder graphics with real in-game assets.
I have just released my latest version of ALTAIRIS for the Jupiter Ace! I did struggle a bit with FORTH but I'm happy with the end result. loudscotsbloke.itch.io/altairis-jup...
