Quake On a 3.5Mhz Sinclair Spectrum? - This Week In Retro 97

Violet Berlin tweeted to remind us that Bad Influence (the CITV show) is now 30 years old. We think back to some the tech/computer/console/gaming shows of the time and wonder what similar shows the rest of the world had. Have you seen the 'Quake' engine that has been created for the Sinclair Spectrum? Even at 3.5Mhz it is very impressive. We take a look and Chris made some footage of it running at 3.5Mhz and at 7Mhz. Finally, a new computer museum is opening in Leigh (UK), in an old mill of all places. ctrl-alt-rees has been to take a look. Will Neil have any advice for them? All this and the community question of the week! 00:00 - Show Opening 12:30 - A Bad InfluenceStory Link: https://mobile.twitter.com/VioletBerlin/status/1586347678266433537 30:02 - Quake SinclairStory Link: https://youtu.be/g1leK1PJb9oFurther Reading: https://www.indieretronews.com/2022/10/quake-engine-running-on-zx-spectrum.html 47:57 - Retro Computer Museum Takes People On Digital Adventure In LeighStory Link: https://www.leighjournal.co.uk/news/23026150.retro-computer-museum-taking-shape-leigh/ 58:15 - Community Question of the Week 🏆Your monthly support helps us keep the retro news flowing!https://www.patreon.com/thisweekinretro ☕Or just buy us a coffee!https://ko-fi.com/thisweekinretro 🕸 TWiR Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/ Follow your hosts!Twitter:https://twitter.com/rmcretro Youtubehttps://youtube.com/rmcretrohttps://www.youtube.com/005agima Twitchhttps://www.twitch.tv/rmcretro Subscribe to the audio version of the show!📻 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-retro/id1526487568?uo=4📻 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2OPQ3cADaB92E9SpRdTe5y📻 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8yZjQ5ODlmOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw📻 RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2f4989f8/podcast/rss📻 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFMx-JitepTttWc-ABHhu8A/📻 All other services: https://anchor.fm/thisweekinretro This Week in Retro is a weekly roundup of the hottest stories from the world of retro gaming and computing, voted on by you, the listener!
