My highest score ever on #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum thanks to this new enhanced version that should be finished & released later today. So much more fun to play when you strive to beat your highest score & get your name on here #OceanSoftware #RetroGaming

Just been having a go on this, an enhanced& bug-fixed version of #Wizball on the #ZXSpectrum. Leigh Ashton has spent a month on this so far. No more flickery graphics or dodgy collision detection plus a parallax starfield among many other improvements. COMING SOON! #OceanSoftware

How cool is this? My good friend & fellow podcast host @Markbylund_Kitt asked Jay Smith (aka father of the Vectrex) to sign a Mine Storm overlay for me. Such a nice gesture, thanks mate! 👍👍👍 #vectrex #retrogaming
