Welcome
WELCOME TO THE 2016 ZXMAS SPECIAL EDITION OF WOOT TAPE MAGAZINE! THANKS FOR THE MANY AND VARIED CONTRIBUTIONS.
IT'S NICE TO SEE THE SPECTRUM SCENE ALIVE + KICKING, ESPECIALLY AFTER A TURBULENT YEAR IN WHICH THE VEGA+ HAS BEEN GRABBING THE HEADLINES AFTER A MANAGEMENT BREAKUP.
THERE IS STILL A HEALTHY STREAM OF NEW SPECCY SOFTWARE, SOME OF WHICH WOULD GIVE THE BEST CLASSIC GAMES A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY, AND UTILITIES SUCH AS A.G.D AND CHURRERA MEANS WE ARE TREATED TO A HIGHER BASELINE QUALITY THAN BACK IN THE DAY. MULTICOLOUR AND BICOLOUR ENGINES SUCH AS NIRVANA HAVE PROVIDED DEVELOPERS WITH A NEW AND RICH SEAM FOR DEVELOPERS TO EXPLOIT.
SO OVERALL IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR THE SPECCY, AND THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS TO DISCUSS IT. UNFORTUNATELY THE NEW WORLD OF SPECTRUM ARCHIVE IS NOT YET LIVE, BUT LET'S HOPE THAT 2017 WILL SEE A LIVING, BREATHING ARCHIVE AGAIN. WHAT FORM IT WILL TAKE REMAINS TO BE SEEN...
CHEERS TO ANOTHER GREAT YEAR OF THE ZX-SPECTRUM! ENJOY THE MAG!
