Tim – Spectrum Next KS3 update email has gone out for backers to update their contact details and addresses ready for delivery. Looks like the KS3 is getting ready for shipping real soon. 

Tim – Vectrex Mini – Delayed! - The ESP32-P4 module at the heart of the Vectrex Mini motherboard has been discontinued. This means a new version is not being released until October, holding up final production boards. However, the delay will be mitigated by a new design to include the processor, and the components responsible for functions including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will be integrated directly onto our own motherboard. Shipping should start in December 2026.

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.
