I did not know it was that easy to comp mod the elk. Wow. I’ve been using RGB to scart on ours which is nice but always good to have another option. By the way I love your intros to your videos Chris. Very welcoming and always makes me smile. Keep up the good work. 😎👍
I use RGB to scart on my spectrum +3 and Amigas and the quality is stunning. Funny how back on the day we mostly used RF and now we want everything crystal clear lol. Thanks for the kind words too mate. Appreciated.
I think re the failure, the ZX Spectrum was the "must have" for kids wanting to play games, and the full BBC Micro for the more serious users (or parents). The Elk also failed to hit a christmas deadline (or such is the legend), and I think they stuffed up the contract with the shops or something, so the shops could return them if unsold. There's legend of warehouses full of them unsold. Which is why fine examples are not hard to come by even now. Even used ones are pretty robust. Great little baby Beeb imho.
I got into Galaxian and Galaga via Ridge Racer. I now pretty much use my Evercade handheld exclusively for Galaga. Can’t say I’m much use at it though. See, hardware repairs can be fun. 🙂
Chris did a thing on RUclips! :p
Glad to see your cameo on TWiR!
Yay I did a thing and it worked 🤣
005 AGIMA phenomenally superbly sensational superlatively sterlingly splendorous
Thanks. I can also cook salmon steak.
Well done matey... Enjoyed this
Cheers fella. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Ahh yes, I know that kind of brave, I think my wife refers to that as my "poor impulse control" 😂
hahaha well this one paid off :D
Brilliant mate really enjoyed that
It still works even after I did a thing :D

I really like the look, keyboard and size of the elk. I struggle to understand why it failed.
Also forfot to compliment on your soldier skills 😅 reminds me of some of my fine work.

Well...this one was easy enough I guess lol. No scissors involved either.
Nice mod mate, you definitely did a thing 😂
Yay me lol
