  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. https://sloanysoft.wordpress.com/2026/03/29/having-a-pint-with-kevin-toms/

  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! https://ktbproductions.itch.io/rescue-rocky
