Catchjack by Joan Pratt (1992)
I have just come across the game Catchjack written in SuperBASIC, by Joan Pratt in 1992. I don't know the copyright status on this, but believe it was owned by someone that recently passed away. I am checking with the family that sold me the items. It is quite a neat little game whereby you have to ...

Re: Various Sinclair QL Books
Still maybe I am biased - I had my account on WIkipedia banned for self-promotion, once they realised that most of the QL software I was putting details on about, was now only available through my website! Hmmm I don't think you were or still are the only one :) What the only one to be banned? And ...

Sandy QXt-640 revived
I have managed to revive a Sandy QXT-640 computer - and have listed it on sellmyretro.com
Just for the fun of it, I have included a note of my trials and tribulations in getting the computer back up and running.
Purchase or bid for the Sandy QXT-640 on SellMyRetro

Re: Using the QL for non-QL-related purposes...
Word of mouth, good customer service, keeping people updated and delivering on promises. Surely all marketing is the same, it is just that there are more methods which can be used nowadays. Actually from a QL point of view, the following has helped spread the word about the QL and drive more traffic...

Re: Various Sinclair QL Books
Wikipedia does not actually have a lot of information on the QL - I think their page on QL Software is quite laughable, but then I am not really sure why they have it - the page on Spectrum software would run to several 1000 entries.... Still maybe I am biased - I had my account on WIkipedia banned ...

Re: My game development thread
I have a version of TechniQL which works in q-emulator and Super Gold Card QLs - not tried it on anything else.
It has the copy protection removed - I was just not sure that this was required now that Malcolm Lear's PCB-CAD continues to be updated regularly.

Various Sinclair QL Books
I have acquired a small pile of QL books and have been listing them for sale on sellmyretro.com
Have a look at the Sinclair QL books for sale - at least I have kept the prices realistic compared to some sellers on that other well known auction site!!

Re: QL Wanderer in 3D Re-Released
Like any other 3D effect really - it depends to some extent on your monitor / TV and also your eyes. The game displays fine on my QL Vision monitor, but took a little while longer for me to see the effect on my LCD monitor - you may have to adjust your monitor settings to get the best effect. My pro...
