This advert for Martech Games was printed in Personal Computer News Issue 30 in 1983. Headline game is Harrier Attack on the Oric-1 and ZX Spectrum. Also listed are Starfighter (Oric-1), Blastermind (ZX Spectrum) and The Quest of Merravid (VIC-20 and CBM-64). Some of these games, such as Harrier Attack, were actually written (and published) by Durell Software. I assume there was some sort of publishing agreement between the two.

I love the power bus on this thing. The keyboard also connects through this bus. You might mistakenly assume that it is electronic, but in fact there is only one circuit board in the entire thing, made up of discreet components. It is mostly mechanical.

My home made Covox Speech Thing Digital-to-Analog LPT (parallel port) stereo sound card. Fairly easy to build. The sound is not perfect but it plays stereo, 44kHz!

There is a sheet of glass glued to the front of the CRT; this glue has deteriorated over time causing the bubbled, mould-like 'screen rot' effect seen here. The only solution is to painstakingly remove the glue (and thereby the glass sheet, leaving the CRT face bare).
