I found the greatest ZX Spectrum BASIC programmer of all time
#zxspectrum #retrogaming #8bit
Early 2023 I ported the classic 1984 ZX Spectrum BASIC type-in game "Dotty the Kangaroo" to iOS and macOS. It was originally created by Ian McTavish from Bristol. I tried to find him in order to thank him for his game and ask for permission to publish it.
But I couldn't find him. However in august of 2024, he was found! In this video I'll tell the story and as a bonus I will play a speedrun of his fantastic BASIC game.
