As ever, thanks so much for your support. It's such a privilege to work on this mag and give Spectrum software developers a place in print to showcase their work. You can subscribe over at Patreon (bit.ly/3LFrH1r) and purchase separate issues at Fusion Retro Books (bit.ly/43OhdD8). Thanks all. 👍

If you can make it, we'd love to see you on the 15th / 16th of November at the Holiday Inn in Kenilworth for our annual get together. The whole CRASH team will be there this year, so do come and say hello. The Saturday is sold out but tickets remain for the Sunday (bit.ly/47SnkZA).

CRASH 30 is wrapped and it's stuffed tighter than Wally’s Christmas stocking! We've got reviews (Asymmetry, Magenta Sky & Zak McDrucken etc.), a look at the Currah Microspeech, an interview with Chris Hinsley and an Investigation into what Spectrum devs were paid back in the day.
