DescargarOn April 23, 2012 the microcomputer many of us started with in this madcap world, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, turned 30, so we at RetroMallorca wanted to arrange a party to be held on Saturday, April 21 from 11:00 to 8:00 p.m. in Room 2 of the Cultural Center s’Escorxador (Slaughterhouse) from Palma de Mallorca. Attendance was free.
In addition to presenting different models of the Spectrum and its predecessors and successors, accessories, magazines, books and running software, we had some activities during the day.
Talk with Juanjo Luna about how to make a device capable of providing the ancient computer with unthinkable add-ons in its days, as hard drives and flash memory cards (Simple 8-bit IDE interface) (stand Marce).
Preservation of the game “David el Gnomo” on vinyl (Emilio).
Demonstration of the Videoface video digitizer (Jordi).
Giveaway of an original Spectrum game cassette for the first 20 attenders (José).
We invited visitors to type a BASIC language listing from a magazine (Emilio). The program has been uploaded with an online emulator. Here are the intrepid people who participated:
Juan José Fuster
Xisco Servera
Rosa Mª Fiol
Guiem Font
Aina Fermoselle
Jetpac game tournament (Alfonso).
BASIC demoscene competition of Speccy.org forum users: We suggested trying to make something to compete either alone or in group (contact us). It’s a competition without deadline: you develop a demo which competes with the winner to date, ad eternum (Marce).
Juan Carlos: He showed us an Indescomp keyboard for the 48k among many other things.
Emilio: Preservation. BASIC listing typing. Interface I local network. TV playing related videos. Games and more.

A multimedia touch kiosk where you can solve your questions about these devices, courtesy of SD Assessors.
Alfonso: Jetpac tournament. Thanks a lot to all participants!. The rank:
Víctor Blanch, scored 134.575 points without dying through 31 stages and giving up his last chance to improve his score, becomes this way the winner of the competition.
José Calvo reached the fifth and got 18.660 points.

@gronzraguer No nos engañemos, va a ser una cosa mucho más sencilla que RetroMallorca 2011. Por eso mismo y porque esto tiene un enfoque muy diferente, mucho más interactivo, creo que nos lo pasaremos mejor, tanto los que lo hacemos como los visitantes.
