Leaving the Spectrum scene has its advantages.  I've had plenty of time to do other things and pursue other hobbies rather than writing Spectrum games or hanging around on scene websites and social media.  My old Twitter account name has even been taken by a rather tragic individual who is pretending to be me.

For starters, I've updated this site.  The more eagle-eyed among you may already have noticed that I've added more games to the History page - go have a read if you haven't already.  I've been uploading games to my page on itch.io and have designed a few Egghead and Arcade Game Designer themed T-shirts, mugs, notepads etc for anyone who might be interested.

Leaving the Spectrum scene doesn't mean that users of other 8-bit machines will be neglected.  As promised last month I'm still supporting Multi Platform Arcade Game Designer and there will be a new version with a couple of fixes for the Acorn Atom and (hopefully) a little new functionality before very long.

I'm seriously considering setting up a website or two for my other hobbies as well.
