Went to the newsagency for Retro Gamer as My Zevious Seven gets a mention in the August issue. That copy wasn't in stock yet, but to my surprise, there's a good #ZX81 write-up in the May 2026 issue with a ton on old and new 81 games and yay, Tut-Tut and Minos Knossos get a good write-up!

Where does the new Minstrel ZXpand II fit, compared to the other? * Minstrel ZXpand - SD, ZXpand Joystick, Kempston Joystick - Needs external ROM + wire * Minstrel ZXpand II - SD, ZXpand Joystick, Kempston Joystick, Overlay ROM * ZXpand / ZXpand+ - SD, ZXpand Joystick, Overlay ROM, RAM
Minstrel ZXpand, Minstrel ZXpand II, ZXpand+Minstrel ZXpand II plugged into Minstrel 3No replacement ROM and wire to jumper block is required.Can also be used with a ZX81 or TS1000, but an internal RAM upgrade is recommended. e.g. https://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2017/10/zx81-internal-16k-ram-reversible-version.html

Thank you. Is one of those games I really wanted on the system 45 years ago. I'm going to avoid them temptation of working on the other I wanted for a while, to preserve some sanity for a bit.

If there was one thing I couldn't stand about Xevious (well the c64 version at least) it was the music. Bleepybleepy. Tinkle tinkle. Well that problem has well and truly been solved. On a more serious note, I can't honestly believe how well this runs. Phenomenal.

That would explain it :-) The big tech channels are the worst. Looking at one of the biggest, LTT, spending a couple of months being incompetent at installing Linux... is it really just an admission that they know nothing about the actual tech?

I'd suspect the ZX81, without the screen draw there's nothing getting in the CPUs way. The Spectrum would stll have to deal with contented memory.
