Keeping You Up to Date

ZX Land #01

We want to keep you up to date with news about our wonderful little computer, both from the Polish market and from around the world.

In our first issue, most of the articles are translations from Western publications (Your Sinclair, Zero, Crash). Nevertheless, in future issues we will try to include articles of our own.

Send all your comments, suggestions, proposals, and so on to the editorial address:

Enjoy your reading!


ZX World News

ZX World News brings you the latest information about the market for our computer.

This month, we will present the aims of a campaign being run in the West under the name Support Our Speccy.

Its purpose is to prevent the biggest software houses from stopping production of software. Your Sinclair magazine published a letter containing a number of arguments that the Spectrum still has many users who buy original software—which, after all, is essential to the survival of these companies.

Anyone who bought the magazine could send this letter to one of the companies whose addresses were listed below. We will report on the results of this campaign soon.

Like other magazines, we would like to maintain rankings of the best:

  • utility programs
  • demos
  • adventure games
  • text adventures
  • puzzle games
  • shoot-'em-ups

Today's rankings are only suggestions from our editorial team. To help our charts take their proper shape, send your votes to:
