​Spec-Man Fixed
Spec-Man was a game released in 1982 by Jega Software. Written in BASIC it was given a single dismal review. The TZX file available is broken or the game is just bad. It does not load any graphics at all and there are many issues. Here is the fixed version. See my Patreon video for more detail (Catch-Up Catch-up May 2024)
​

Fixes:
Control keys now QAOP.
The game automatically moves to the next level.
The game loads the graphics.
Shorter BEEPs - to try and speed things up.
High score set to 100.
Added label for score.

Mind Your Language
A series of features, beginning in Issue 16, covers different programming languages available on the Spectrum.
To compare the differences, the author, George Beckett will use a simple reference game, Rabbit Run, originally written in Sinclair BASIC.

Sinclair BASIC version.
Laser BASIC compiled version. (when game ends restart using GOTO 1)
Machine Code version.

TV Ident
Featured at the end of episode 105, this small utility was kindly sent to me. It would be difficult to explain what it is, so I suggest you go to episode 105 and view the last segment of the show.
