Wish I could have been there. Thanks for filming this. Another retro event I can't get to because of my job. Can't get to Zzap in August because it's high holiday season, and can't get to Crash in November because it's Christmas pressure season. Managed to get to Crash last year because I was lucky it fell on my rotating day off, (sat next to you in the Speccy Next talk.) Lovely, smooth footage again .. gotta love that DJI pocket. I've bought one since seeing yours in action. 😁👍

@@SpectrumNez It is great to see what I'm missing in video form, but can't shake that 'ache' of missing out on the experience of being there. I picked up the Pocket 2, (3 was a bit overpriced for comfort.) Quite hard to get hold of, but there was a white one available, still new, with the kit I was after, so I went for that. I managed to get tickets for the London Gaming Market on June 30th. Probably mostly buying and selling but still a retro event. It's on a Sunday and I don't work Sundays (despite my employers' efforts to change my permanent contract - good old union! ✊) I'll be there with my step-son.

@Switcher19728 ай бұрын
"Fairlight" received very few coverage here in France, first and mainly because the Speccy wasn't a fan-favorite in the specialized media (the Amstrad's being the 8bit leader) second maybe because it looked a bit too much like previous "3D isometric" essays (one word: "Knight Lore") and our very own French "Crafton et Xunk" (which was a blast on... Amstrads). Watching YT vids from the Sinclair enthusiasts, it gives me the impression the Sinclair offerings have been highly underrated.
@SpectrumNez8 ай бұрын
So Amstrad was the leader in France? Wow - that’s totally different to the UK. The CPC always lagged behind both the Speccy and C64, although it had some amazing games. (Gryzor comes to mind). We had ‘Crafton et Xunk’ here too but it was called ‘Get Dexter’. It looks like a lovely looking game! It’s a pity Fairlight didn’t get the coverage it deserved over there. Such a good game. I spent countless hours playing it back in the day. I thought it was magical!
