Sanxion review from #yoursinclair magazine

Mental block: overcome.

I had been stuck on my coding project, for not having enough clarity about how to manage timings and latency in a game.

I had asked for and received some precious help, but it took me a while to fully digest it and understand all of its implications.

Now I feel that I'm ready to make progress again.

A few months back we launched a brand new #ZXSpectrum magazine. We've spent the last 3 months working on the "difficult second issue".

With 92 (NINETY TWO!!) pages featuring loads of reviews of brand new ZX Spectrum games, new features, interviews and 2 brand new and exclusive type-ins.

Best of all it's completely FREE!

So treat yourself, we've put a load of work into this & are immensely proud it it.

Are you interested in buying a second-hand Spectrum? So this #yoursinclair guide from 1989 is what you need!

I can't not include the #ZXSpectrum in my classic ASCII crawler target list. 64 columns and glorious colour clash ahoy!

Didn't realise how intricate some parts of the behind the scenes stuff actually is. Still getting there, only a few tidy up bits left and polishing combat.

Erbe Software was the main Spain's 8-bit games distributor back in the day.

But in 1986, as #microhobby reports, it decided to produce its own games, and the first was Las Tres Luces de Glaurung.
