8-Bit Retro Journal
Hi folks!
Thanks for visiting my channel. Here you'll find videos of me tinkering with my childhood computers. My first computer was a ZX81, straight from Sinclair Research through mail order in the US. The Sinclair QL is still my favorite with its cool, Unix-like operating system in only 48K of ROM.
I also wrote a ZX81 emulator called ZXSimulator...give it a try by clicking the link below.
