 WELCOME!
Every owner of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, in any of its forms, should remember one of the most entertaining computer magazines ever published: Your Sinclair. YS ran as Your Spectrum for a couple of years before being relaunched as Your Sinclair at Christmas 1985.
    YS ran until 1993 and outlasted all the other Spectrum magazines that were sold at the time. During this time various breakthroughs in game design arose that we now all take for granted in these days of multi-megabyte memory, multicolour graphics home computer systems.
    The YS Rock'n'Roll Years aims to relive those days, so sit back, relax, and indulge yourself into some serious nostalgia.

27th June 2009 : A nice little YS94 bonus for you - the archives I was sent by the YS94 team included the original DTP files used to print the supplement, and Andrew Rollings has converted them to PDF, and they look quite fab indeed. There's something striking about seeing these pages in high definition onscreen. Take a look at the YS94 page for download links.
Retro Gamer25th June 2009 : THE 2004 YOUR SINCLAIR SPECIAL IS NOW ONLINE!
    A few weeks ago I approached Imagine Publishing, publishers of Retro Gamer, about putting their 32-page YS special from 2004 online, and not only did Damian Butt (Imagine MD) give the go ahead, but he and the YS94 team (Dan Whitehead, Martyn Carroll, Colin Woodcock and Shaun Bebbington) dug into their archives and sent me a shedload of files used to create the original supplement.
    Including some unreleased stuff!
    So today I present to you YS94 - the 2004 Special, pretty much completely online, with one unpublished article, two bonus pages, plus a re-release of the analysis I wrote back in 2004 when it was released.
    Huge huge thanks to the YS94 Team and Imagine for everything they've done - it's been a very fun June as a result.
    Enjoy!
10th June 2009 : COMING SOON... YS94. Online. Uncut. Stay tuned...

Having stumbled upon WOS's cover tape inlay archive, I've replaced those oh-so-'90s cover tape icons with clickable mini tape inlays which will take you to the WOS Infoseek page for that cover tape. Completely superficial, but it gave me a few pangs of nostalgia when I saw those inlays.
