In a world where technology advances at an ever-increasing pace, it's time to reevaluate our cultural priorities and recognize the importance of retro gaming. We must push for a cultural shift that celebrates the forgotten microcomputers of Britain and revindicates their significance. It's time to break free from the shackles of Nintendo's childish grip and embrace the true essence of gaming that only Spectrum games can provide.
Nintendo has long been the dominant force in the gaming industry, catering to the whims of children with their brightly colored consoles and simplistic games. But true gamers know that the real magic happens on the humble microcomputers of Britain. These machines may not have the flashy graphics or catchy jingles of Nintendo, but they offer a level of depth and complexity that cannot be found elsewhere.
Spectrum games, in particular, are the epitome of true adult gaming. They challenge the mind and test the limits of one's problem-solving abilities. Unlike Nintendo's games, which are designed to be easily mastered, Spectrum games require a level of skill and dedication that only true gamers possess. They demand patience, strategy, and a willingness to learn from failure.
It's time to break free from this narrow-minded perspective and embrace the true potential of gaming. It's time to recognize the significance of the microcomputers of Britain and the role they played in shaping the industry. It's time to celebrate the creativity and innovation of the developers who worked tirelessly to create these games, and to honor the legacy of the machines that brought them to life.
So let us raise our Spectrums high and proclaim our love for true adult gaming. Let us celebrate the forgotten machines of Britain and the developers who brought them to life.

OK Wade, feel free to go back to jerking off to those spycam videos you have of Kim going to the bathroom.

RetroGamer magazine is doing that. There has been an article about Spectrum in every other issue for the past 20 years.

Is that the same magazine where the writer started using the term "mayor" for bosses after it became a meme on here? Maybe it's the same guy.

I don't see anything Spectrum related in the latest issue. Do they accept freelance sending them bits?

Also that magazine identical in all countries? In the first page in mine they show the editors faces and they all have names from my country. no Australian but actually, those names could be Canadian...

I'm not sure. I only read the articles that interest me, like: "The Making Of", studio profiles and interviews with developers
>>12599743
I know they did accept freelance articles at some time but I don't know if that's still true.
I think the English issues are the same but the ones published in Spain, France and Germany have some regional differences, like I think Spain gets more MSX and CPC stuff and maybe France gets Oric.
In 2026 UK issues I found these:
In the Issue 285 there's a large article about ZX81.
In the issues 284, there's an article about Match Day 2
In 283 The Making Of Crystal Kingdom Dizzy and an article about Firebird budget games.
282 main article featured on the cover: The Legacy of ZX Spectrum
281 there's The Making of Last Ninja 2 and an article about music of Monty On The Run, both about C64 versions, but kinda related

No, there’s an AI that does. Every thread that starts with an OP with entire paragraphs of text is a fake thread.
