A humorous editorial sets the tone for the issue, addressing software shell quirks, the platform's trajectory, and a call to chiptune composers. The correspondence section features discussions on ZX-VGA converters, circuit designs, music, and the future of the scene. Technical highlights include detailed schematics for a hardware multicolor modification (192x256, 16 colors per byte) tailored for Pentagon and Profi motherboards. Additionally, the issue explores the story behind ZX PAD, an ambitious handheld Z80-based computer featuring an LCD screen, flash memory, and MP3 playback.
