Went to the newsagency for Retro Gamer as My Zevious Seven gets a mention in the August issue. That copy wasn't in stock yet, but to my surprise, there's a good #ZX81 write-up in the May 2026 issue with a ton on old and new 81 games and yay, Tut-Tut and Minos Knossos get a good write-up!

If there was one thing I couldn't stand about Xevious (well the c64 version at least) it was the music. Bleepybleepy. Tinkle tinkle. Well that problem has well and truly been solved. On a more serious note, I can't honestly believe how well this runs. Phenomenal.

YouTuber: I'm switching to LINUX from Windows. Lets install WTFisTHISrandomDISTRO.tm Oh that didn't go very well. Why is it always like watching some muppet install Windows Server 2008 on rack mounted system to play Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition?????????

It's a console, it was always locked down, nothings really changed, they were always using you a cash point.

Have a FB account for friend reasons, but f*&k, so over It: Seems you're male, a certain age, here's some brainless USA guy to follow who's anti everything and extra anti others. Oh and by the way this is a rando UK guy with a Nigel fetish. (End Rant, back to fun normal stuff)

Classic or Enhanced? There's now a choice in versions: with the update of v1.04 there is an aditional option of User Defined Graphics with Colour. The ZIP file contains both versions. zx81keyboardadventure.itch.io/zevious-seven #ZX81 #retrogaming #indiedev

A Roguelike that's actually roguelike, what madness is this? Wonderful.

It is Still Raining (sequel to The Darkest Dusk) | The work in progress continues

#ZX81 Game development for Orphion Seven (or Zevious or ZXevious): Got the First Level finalised and 4 to 6 to go depending on space. Added some gun overheating, and a few bug fixes. The itself seems to pay really well after the bug fixes (I can't stop playing at least).

A bit of extra work over the weeked on Orpion Seven for the #ZX81. Managed just enough extra speed to make some ZONX-81 sound action possible. Updated some the other graphic elements also.

#ZX81 game development: Orphion Seven testing update: now running with some actual level data and replacing the placeholder graphics with real in-game assets.

I have just released my latest version of ALTAIRIS for the Jupiter Ace! I did struggle a bit with FORTH but I'm happy with the end result. loudscotsbloke.itch.io/altairis-jup...

#ZX81 Games has a name "Orphion Seven", and it's starting to look more like a game. Testing some sprites, scores and power panel. Still a long way to go though, but I can see the light. youtu.be/AovZC2JcVwg

Alright, thanks to advice I now have builds for Linux and Windows uploaded to tonsomo.itch.io/scrn - I haven't tested them, so if anyone wants to give it a shot i'd be grateful (It's free)

Some impressive results in Sierra upscaling: youtu.be/z9Yp9S23ICo?...

Bit behind the scenes work on the #ZX81 game, but visible progress now: alien paths are set up, the joystick controls are working better, and bullets are in (they don’t hurt yet).

If you need a PS2 mouse card for an PC, XT, 286, 386, 486 these things are all over Aliexpress, the good new is that they work really well.

Have time, but only to work out where I got up to a week ago before I didn't have time for a week.
