The ZX Spectrum Next - Kickstarter Now Live! : Now Funded!

[Vimster]

I have come to the decision I'm going to sell my Next. It's literally had no use in about 18 months, there have been no Next-specific games that have justified me holding on to the hardware, and as far as playing original Spectrum games I have other options including a rubber-key 48k and +2 with a DivMMC Future. 

 

Quick question: I'm not sure if the PSU I put in the box is the right onw. It's 5V 2A. Is that the right one?

I’ll check mine tonight.

This is the one that I’m using. I think it’s the one that came with it.

My N-GO has arrived.  Can't wait to try that keyboard

Cheers, the one I have is definitely not the Next one. It's 5V and that one there is 9V. Will have to search about a bit as it's around here somewhere.

Make sure you use the right one, the Next PSU is not the same polarity as the Soectrum/Megadrive one and if you use the wrong one, you can (I believe) blow the Next!

Massive list of games up for it on Itchio

King of Anglers looks interesting. Still bugger all of these to be seen.. is it worth picking one up for £600 on ebay?

Personally I’d recommend a MiSTer and using the Spectrum Next core on that.

I am looking forward to this!

That is looking great. That's really the "Next" look I was hoping for.

Yeah, Spectrum graphics coloured in nicely. Looks great!

A Target Renegade remake?! That wasn't on my radar at all, where can I find info on this?

 

Do we need to have a thread dedicated entirely to itch.io recommendations that run on original hardware? I find the website a bit of a pain to navigate around as too many titles are Windows based. I've downloaded a handful of freebies as well as purchasing Bikers for the ZX Next, and Sarah Jane Avory's C64 games over the last few years, but generally don't use the site.

Very little info really. It’s being developed by Wasp and is set to go out with the second Kickstarter machines. I know that it’s been in development for quite a while and I’m assuming that it’s nearly done.

 

This unlisted teaser went up a couple of weeks back.
