@@bjornh1527 Ah.. lol apologies. When I say Solid. That's means it's tough, hard. Very difficult games.

Yes appears so. I'm sure they'll add it down the line if enough people ask.

@@jayme69 lol and big.

@@GaggleofDoozies Yes many games now have the turbo fire feature from the latest firmware update. Mapped to Y.

for 16gb, choose the 8gb disc image

@@CrazyBurger Ahh right - cheers for that

No but it did take forever to download for me.

@@CZpersi It was the night mission.

I have been loving earth defense force via VS-R with an 8bitdo arcade stick. It works great. Just plug and play! I can even power the vsr from a USB port on my TV. These bartop machines really appeal to me, but don't align with my current budget, unfortunately. Hopefully, they will continue production long enough for my budget to adjust and accommodate.

@@CatFish107 lol 😆 funny enough.. I do.

@@CatFish107 I power my VS from the TV as well. Think it's probably recommended that you use a direct mains supply right enough. There's no doubt some games are great fun on the Alpha. But its still a novelty product. Not sure it'll ever be my main thing to play evercade. I wished I had more space for these as well. Definitely hope this is a one off for Blaze. Regular Alphas and I'm out. Can't get any more of these.

Perfect, nice one.

I've no idea. I assumed it was my laptop that was slow as the memory was at the limit.. not long now, less than a week!

@@dontliftoff yep it's there

Ah yes, 1.44! Sorry, I missed it!

@@dontliftoff lol sorry its mega brief. I did do a longer video.

@@Grim528 Thanks..I love that intro too. For this year though I simplified it a bit.

@@tombennett7499 Thank you and yeah its a cheap product, I get requests daily about this.. is "put game name here" on this? Which is why I made this video.

@@CrazyBurger I was hoping for the Wild bunch on amstrad but dont think its there But Hunter is there for Amiga if you havent played that its a must :)

Lol perhaps. I'm aware not everyone enjoys it as much as me.

Not sure any specs have been revealed on the website but this machine is likely just a SBC and running emulation software. This is how all of the companies previous devices have been. Nothing wrong with good emulation. Some dislike it but I think it’s the way to go most of the time as it’s cheap and convenient. If this was an FPGA based machine it would likely cost a lot more.

Most should be fine, as long as its connected to the mains. Just avoid charging via a PC or an xbox or other device like that.

Yeah. This one is a newer title from the last few years.

@@CrazyBurger Ah thank you, I thought my memory was going nuts haha

@@sheppertonstudios8253 lol no. There's actually a few newer games on here. I do agree a lot of the new games don't necessarily feel like Spectrum games or sound like them.

@@CrazyBurger ​ I've actually ordered one that's arriving on the 22nd Nov. Thank you for making and uploading this video mate, some classics on there and some games that I never played but I am looking forward to (Skool Daze shockingly lol). But yeah I can see some on there that are showing off advancements made on the machine (TCQ WTF) but for me I'll be using it for roms from back in the day.

Depends how well these sell. I'm sure it's a possibility. But with the costs involved.. this feels like an experiment/test.

That video shouldn't have been put up. There's an embargo till 21st Nov. I think he knew that, it was a fairly brief video. My vid won't be brief lol

@ I must admit, I was a bit shocked when I watched the video, I was only looking for for anything about The Spectrum, was pretty shocked that they sent him a freebie when he has such a low subscriber rate? Can’t work that out, surely if you want a successful product launch, you would send it to high impactful vloggers like yourself! I don’t really broadcast my personal life but I actually work for worlds largest online retailer, the only clue I can give you is it starts in a and ends in n. It’s so busy, I / we genuinely just about get time to breathe in and out but one thing I do know is we have bays / cages for high value stock comes in that can’t be touched / processed until a certain time and it’s not looked at other than some of the worlds best CCTV. For instance, if a products release date is on the 10th, it might have reached our what we call shed on the 5th, it will sit until the 8th where it will be then broken down processed and stowed then on 9th pre orders will be picked and processed and dispatched ready for delivery on the 10th. I wouldn’t be opening my inbox anytime soon if I was you know who……. (but he eased an itch, for now).

​@@CrazyBurgerDid they send out press bundles again like the Atari 400mini? I'll wait for yours any way. 😉

@MIKandJEAN I dunno yet. Should find out Tuesday. I suspect the guy that's done that video has close ties with Pliaon.

No. Use Google.

@@jasonyoung2121 possibly, it has basic. Lol I wasn't even good 40 years ago.

I've only got a 48k Spectrum (with an SD thingy) so I'm looking forward to playing 'new' 128k games.

@@michaelholdstock9518 mmm not sure.. the spectrum may not pick it up

@@CrazyBurger Thanks for the prompt reply. I noticed on the Amiga mini Retrogames info that the format stick info has changed with the same guidelines as the new The Spectrum usb stick info. Using the aforementioned SD Formatter always formats FAT 32B with MBR. The Amiga mini and C64 always detects USB stick. I suspect the new pcs don't format 32. I'll keep fingers crossed. It'll save a lot of time. Thanks again.

Just in case you've not seen the weather reports, Snow & Ice coming your way. Give that Speccy a chance to warm to room temperature before switching on. 👍

@MIKandJEAN 6ft deep already!

@@CrazyBurger What the!!! 😲 Have fun with the kids in the snow and fingers crossed you get your package before Friday! 🤞

@MIKandJEAN lol 😆 not seen any snow yet. Hoping it doesn't come..
