I have tried looking for the Alchnews, but I cant find the exact site location.
Have you a link please?

Yes those are the pokes, thank you very much.
Yes its most strange that you don`t need them on the +2A as both are the same apart from the cassette deck and Disc drive unit.

Beautifully programmed gamesJust watching the bobby bearing tzx and admiring the beautiful programming involved. Which other games would you say had asthetic programming opposed…
I like Boulderdash CK, it is the only one that scrolls properly, as the previous Boulderdash 1 2, and 3 are very jerky, not good for any player.

I was at Ocean when Mike Lamb was doing Top Gun. It is 3D vector graphics and not stored images. Sorry. -

Why the hell am I defending Mike Lamb?
LOL!
Last I heard he moved to the States and became rich, if not famous. Sounds pretty good to me! -

Mike Lamb has retired now. Just thought I'd share that with you all. -

Have you another Spectrum to try?
It is possible that the RGB port on your Spectrum may not be working correct a faulty component perhaps.

Come to think of it, is the scart plug (Spectrum end) a sealed unit?
If not then can you prise it open to see if a wire has come away?
And why not take the scart plug (TV end) apart to see if the same has happened.

If it was wired for composite PAL then it would not work as the Plus2A/Plus3 do not have composite PAL just RGB.
All previous Spectrum 128`s had composite PAL (video)as well as RGB not the newer PLus2A/+3`s

I sincerely hope your daughter's ok. And as for that burglar piece of shit, I hope he gets what's coming to him.
Mike: if there's anything you need, anything, let me know.
