After 3 long years, fulfilment of the machines from the second Spectrum Next Kickstarter campaign has finally happen, and it's exciting to see folks join the fold!

So instead of celebrating with a retread of things (like my original video), I thought I'd do something I hadn't done much of: looking at how classic Spectrum games fare when taking advantage of the Next's faster CPU speeds.

Chapters:
00:00: Intro
02:39: 3D Games
09:35: Faux-3D Games
12:32: 2D Games
18:32: Final Thoughts & Outro

Thanks for watching!
