I've written a few text adventures myself along with a about 100 programs before. But I can't use Assembler. Damn.

Are there any talented speccy programmers out there?Whats happened to all of the spectrum enthusiasts? There are very few new releases for the spectrum and remakes for new platforms don't interest me. …
I can't actually programme a speccy now :(
Instead I am afraid I use a BBC for that, and I am pretty poor. I can just about manage some simple text adventures. -
