Nacho<p>Ya he recibido la nueva <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/MicroHobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MicroHobby</span></a> y aunque sólo he leído por ahora la mitad puedo confirmar que esto no es un sacacuartos sin alma para señores nostálgicos de mediana edad. Es un producto hecho con un cariño infinito y un profundo respeto al original (no solo mantiene la numeración sino que incluso tienen el mismo ISBN), sorprendentemente lleno de contenido para tratarse de un nicho dentro de una afición de nicho. La única pega que le puedo poner es que las demos son solo para la versión en digital con lo cual en papel pierdes una parte de la experiencia. Encantado estoy, no solo seguiré suscrito sino que posiblemente me pase a papel más digital para tener nuevos viejos juegos para el Spectrum :flan_hearts: </p><p><a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/zxspectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zxspectrum</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sinclair</span></a></p>
