Tim – From Modretro the makers of the M64 comes the M64 AV Adapter. Designed for the HDMI output on the M64 that would allow you to plug the HDMI from the M64 into this adapter and then output to CRTs via the connections on the AV Adapter. Not confirmed yet, but this could likely work with any HDMI input and output to common CRT connection formats. (Thanks to Retro RBG)

In this re-de-make-imagining you can play the first level to imagine a world where that scenario is a reality (if only a little!)

News -   

Tim – Space Pizza! - New ZX Spectrum Next game is in development by Gary Pinkett who we know as my good friend Gary. The game started off as a simple thrust style game but has been developed very much with another game in mind, Space Taxi. The game takes place on different mazes in caves where you fly your ship around the cave to deliver a set number of pizzas to the waiting miners on each pad. Developments are coming thick and fast, including transporters to take you to different parts of the caves, time attack mode, high score and for online Next’s your scores will be published in leaderboards. Lots more to come on this one and Cody, Eric and Tim will be testing this game as it moves along in development over the coming months. A more in-depth take is being covered on this month's TTWT as I chat with Gary about developing the game.
