A profile of Cronosoft, an analogue publisher in a digital age.
An interview with music maestro Lee Bee, and
an interview with Tom Potter of Sausagesoft about his new MPAGD audio plugin.
There's a new BASIC listing from ZXMoe, a crossword and...a poem, somehow.

Break Space Year 2 is off to a great start, and still 100% free.
As usual, there are 2 files below.
Content is the same in both, but the Standard version presents 2 pages as a spread, and the Phone Friendly version shows pages one at a time.

First of all, thanks to this magazine we can learn about the incredible number of titles being released for our beloved machine, the ZX Spectrum.
Thank you so much for publishing a short review of my humble first game, Cafetonic.
Thanks for the game, we had fun with it.
Can you help set Lee's mind at ease though - is the music original or based on something else?
Wonderful issue! And thanks for reviewing Elemental 2025!
Cheers and congrats! Writing a usable chemistry utility for the Speccy in 2026 is achievement enough, but making it one of the best for any platform is most definitely Aceworthy!
We know a lot more about elemental analysers then we did 3 months ago, that's for sure.
Although it did cost us a time machine.
"I think many of us saw ourselves as outsiders BITD, full of fire and with grand designs on beating the system. Fast forward to today, we wonder what happened as the reactionary dead eyes of a middle manager stare back at us in the bathroom mirror."
(page 49 - Welcome 2 The Machine)
That’s exactly what motivated me when I started the u_nvrz series — how did you figure that out, Dave?! :)
Hehe. We must share the same dead eyes and brand of premium sandalwood soap ÷)
Yes, yes, yes! I see that the texts in pdfs are selectable, copyable and searchable now, THANK YOU! Favourite zx mag got even more properly awesome!
I'm glad you're enjoying the mag. I enjoy helping to write some of it too.
And it only took us a year!
Thanks for sticking with us.
Great mag, look forward to reading the latest issue 🙂
