This issue features practical insights from Andrzej Sapkowski on the vital role of world mapping in fantasy fiction. Scene reviewers cover the latest ZX Spectrum electronic press, highlighting developments in 3D graphics, digital sound, and modem networking. A satirical historical story about a fictional 19th-century wooden computing machine stands alongside nostalgic autobiographical memoirs of purchasing a first ZX Spectrum 48K in Lviv and connecting it to a TV set. The release is rounded out by a collection of humorous limericks, winter landscape poetry from the Carpathians, and vintage 1990s computer classifieds.
