This is so cool. For their graduate thesis, writer & crafter, Alanna Okun made a game about knitting and hand knitted an arcade console to put it in.

Last year's event was great, here's what I thought of it...
I've been playing this awesome little #ZXSpectrum game recently. It's a straightforward single screen arcade maze affair. It's utterly charming though and I absolutely love the graphical style & it plays so well.
Worth checking out.

Dungeons of Gomilandia is a fantastic #ZXSpectrum puzzle game, I highly recommend it if you've never played it before.

For all #ZXSpectrum folk.
I highly recommend you grab this superb brand new Speccy physical release, Wacky Robot. Absolute bargain at £7.95.

Rescue Rocky is a brilliant new #zxspectrum game from KTB Retro Computing Productions.
It's a fiendish single screen arcade puzzler where you have to rescue trapped idiot humans.
Great gameplay & humour abound, highly recommended, go get!

As Retrostreamers has been streamlined & is moving in a different direction, I'm setting up my own blog for my Speccy related stuff.
I'm going to start off by redoing my old Retrostreamers articles, starting with the day I met the legend that is Kevin Toms.

Looking forward to the annual ZX Spectrum GOTY awards today, it has been amazing to see the ceremony grow over the years.
BubbleBack is nominated for a few awards but my money is on Cubix to sweep the board.
Interviews from 10:30, ceremony from 3pm (UTC)
Another new-ish (pseudo-recycled) post.
