The Speccy future is so bright, old uncle Clive has to wear sunglasses. This special issue is dedicated to all those who wrote to us (or indirectly) asking why we stopped producing this fanzine. Well, to make things crystal, we didn't give up, we simply MERGED with Extacy 3's all singing and machine coded festival of Tasword... SUBLIMINAL EXTACY. Where is the fucking drum roll? See, silence! Not much cop is it?
Hope you enjoy this issue. It has been more fun for us to do it as a 'one-off' as opposed to churning it out every 8 weeks because, to be honest, it WASN'T FUN anymore. There are loads of other fanzines around like Crashed, Spec UK, Alch News, PD Power, Outlet, Format (snigger) and the aforementioned Sub XTC. And I've probably missed a couple. If you don't subscribe to them all then why not? And what about the overseas Speccy clubs; there are several.
I expect there will be some sort of Christmas Special, maybe even a Bonfire Special, or probably a Will we ever beat Barnsley away Special. The answer to one of those is almost certainly no. Why don't you start your own Speccy zine? All the utilities we use are available from the Public Domain sector except for the Multiface that we use for the screen grabs. Oh well, it was only an idea...
