I just want to say how happy I am to have found this show despite being buried due to criminally low views. Fantastic format, watching a couple more episodes has been the highlight of my night for a week now, and many weeks to come to get caught up!

Thanks. A lot of catching up to do ;-)

I'd love to know more about the story of the cassette copy protection system blocked by the MOD...

This is a great channel. Thanks for putting it together.

Thanks. Knightmare ZX is a great game, give it a while as it starts slow but soon hots up!

[@roberthazelby4424]

Another great piece of work there, Paul. Thanks for the heads-up on Knightmare ZX. It looks and sounds wonderful.

Most exellent,as usual. Rumaged about in the attic and found shadow of the unicorn!!

Good feature regarding adventure games. What did surprise me at the time was that games such as Sid Meier's Pirates, Maniac Mansion and Zak McCracken, all games available for the Commodore 64, weren't converted and released for the 128K Speccy.

Recently got into watching these. As I grew up with the ZX Spectrum, these are fascinating to watch. That Incredible Hulk adventure game was unfairly difficult. The action of 'bite lip' was simply ridiculous. I never got out of the first room - until I could Google the answer many many years later.

[@BuckingTheTrend2008]

Thanks. More on the way.
