Hi there

[Corporal Jonlan]

Hello, I just joined this forum after having been contacted by zapiy on the World Of Spectrum one.

I am chiefly interested in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum range: I even developed some games for it recently and wrote Spectrumpedia, the most comprehensive book about it to date, which at present is only available in Italian, both as a free PDF download and printed book (published by Universitalia Editrice) for sale. I started work on an English edition but suspended it last year mainly due to work reasons and attention diverted by other retro-related things (having some attempts at game design), although I am considering taking it up again later this year.

I am also assistant editor for an independent Italian website about current and retro gaming and computing, GamesArk. In the past I also wrote several articles and reviews for it but nowadays I mainly check other contributors' work before their release. However I am currently working at an article about a recent visit I paid to the Computing History Museum in Cambridge, UK.

My released games for the Spectrum are:

Lost In My Spectrum

Apulija-13

Funky Fungus (128K only)

Al's Double Bill (128K only)

Cronopios Y Famas

They are all available in several file formats and with game and documentation in several languages (download links are at the bottom of each page).

I am also currently working at a new game in five episodes, which at present is about 65% done. It's called Cousin Horace and you can read more about it in the official thread in the WOS forum.

Very cool stuff, grew up with a Spectrum myself!  :16:

Thank you :-)

As for my retro hardware collection, it is made up of the following machines, all in working order:

• 1x Spectrum 16K
• 2x Spectrum 48K
• 1x Spectrum +
• 1x Sinclair/Investronica Spectrum 128 complete with numeric keypad
• 1x Spectrum 128
• 1x Spectrum +2
• 2x Spectrum +2A, one of which part of an Action Pack
• 1x Spectrum +3

Also, several joysticks, including a lovely Quickjoy SV 131 Superstar and a Cheetah BolliStick.

I also own a C64 in working order complete with Datassette and 1541 disk drive, but I have not been using it for ages, and a Japanese Dreamcast, which I purchased off the ebay in order to play some exclusive titles for that platform, such as Ikaruga, Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue etc.
