Top listings for ZX Spectrum and ZX-81: 1984/08 Issue 22

Sinclair Programs was one of the earliest Sinclair magazines, covering ZX80, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum. While the magazine does include features and some reviews, it is primarily a listing magazine. Programs are listed in basic on the pages, and readers type them in and play them. This format of magazine is without doubt a relic of a forgotten 8-bit age.

This is the August 1984 edition of Sinclair Programs magazine. The magazine features as many as 40 full programs and games for the early Sinclair range of home computers such as the ZX80, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum. Most if not all of the featured programs were originally submitted by the publications readers and hobbyist programmers and are ready to be typed in and run. Of course for anyone who remembers following along with the programming books and magazines of the time, a small amount of debugging may be required first! The programs are all shown in their entirety and the pages are also packed with interesting and nostalgic adverts and articles relating to other computers and hardware of the early 80's.

This copy is in used condition with no tears, creases or missing pages. Whether you are looking to learn and experience the fun (or frustration) of creating programs and games for your Sinclair computer, this series of magazines is a great starting place and would also make a great edition to any retro computing collection.
