I visited this fascinating Museum of Games and Computers in Wroclaw yesterday. Computer games are not my thing; I build/fix/code, however I found the displays excellent and a trip down memory lane. I even played Pac-Man on a C64! Now if they had a working Sinclair ZX80 and I could play mutant camels off cassette, I would have been even more impressed. They even had removable disks for mini/mainframe computers!

Today’s delivery comes to you straight from 1982.
I wanted to share with you all exactly what the Sinclair ZX Spectrum meant to myself, and a whole generation of Iraqi children who were living the horrors of war in the 80s and how it helped us escape.
I wrote this blog when Sir Clive died, at the time I was still on Twitter so I don’t think I’ve shared it here.
Please have a read and let me know your memories too :)

#retrocomputing folks: what is the best way to load games into a ZX Spectrum from a Mac (through the audio output)? I see there's something called OTLA that is able to load games much faster than from tape but it seems to be Windows only. Is there a macOS version? #zxspectrum #sinclairzxspectrum
