Glad you liked it! I believe the Timex 1000 is the same as the ZX81, I think... Either way the Next has a Timex Sinclair mode!

2020-02-29 17:57:38 +0000 UTCGreat video Chris. The Next is a cracking machine. I had the Dev board for a fair while. I reviewed NextDAW in the last Crash! annual (as well as the Next versions of Guild of Thieves and the Pawn) and I'm very much looking forward to hearing what you create with it! Also - I have a few original Atic Atac's and even though your recreation looks fab, it's always nice to have an original so I'll pop one of my spare's in the post to you :)

2020-02-29 03:21:09 +0000 UTCWhat a tough life! I'm sure his is more thorough but I intentionally haven't watched until mine is done. Don't want to get influenced with ideas or opinion. 🤷♂️ I probably have a slightly different angle/goal 👍🕹️

2020-02-28 16:59:25 +0000 UTCYup it's very well made. The Next I mean, not necessarily the video 😉

2020-02-28 16:59:01 +0000 UTCI wasn't even aware of this thing at it looks AWESOME! Though, I think you spent more time with it, then you did with Ladyfractic this week. Shame on you!

2020-02-28 16:00:20 +0000 UTCGreat video. One of your best. The only problem is now I'm even more impatient for my Next to arrive!

2020-02-28 07:47:12 +0000 UTCGood video, and definitely Perifractic flavoured :-) The one thing I noticed NostalgiaNerd do that may matter is to give a spoiler warning when showing the manual cover: apparently the cover is supposed to be a surprise and these Spectrum Nexts seem to be only just shipping so possibly not everyone has seen the cover yet. Probably it worth another upload on its own, but if you are uploading again for another reason, maybe throw in a “spoiler warning” subtitle? Ewen
