Reg Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Today I had the pleasure of trying this that arrived... Great service from ByteDelight. The owner there was a complete pleasure to deal with. This is a refurbished ZX Spectrum 48K in a rather nice white case. The ZX-HD brings HDMI connectivity to the computer and the picture has never been sharper. Press the little reset button on the ZX-HD and the Spectrum then starts. Games are loaded using the digital cassette recorder which was brought seperately - basically TAP files on an SD card and no moving parts or magnetic ribbon to snap or fail. They actually load in real-time and this is what I wanted, I know there are instant solutions. Here is the setup if you find yourself playing in the dark... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearecity Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 The ACG key on Atic Atac always looked the wrong way around to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you figured it was a key - for some reason - no matter how many times I had read the instructions and it's here... ...it was way too long before I had realised that it was a key - in my mind, it was a bloody statue as also to me - it didn't look like a key !

wearecity Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I remember we use to find a part, put it by the exit, then go find the next part and repeat. The first time we got them all, we put them together. I vaguely remember some sort of pick/drop/pick/drop panicked sequence of getting it to look right and then us wondering why it wouldn't work. Eventually after a few times of getting all the parts of the key, we figured we had it the wrong way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlon36 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) WOW! That looks great does that, Reg. I never knew you could buy such things! Now, where's my credit card??? Edited November 9, 2018 by Marlon36 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 It begins a journey. It might be a blinged up spectrum - but I tell you, it was awesome to load in Atic Atac via the digital tape recorder ( at real loading time speed ) and play the game.
