Hi again,
Many of the PDF tier backers would like the option to get some add-ons. To do this I have created a new Tier called : Next Cover SD. This tier includes the PDFs and the Next Cover SD perk.
Many of you on the PDF tier are asking for the Next Cover SD - so this is the easiest way to do this. You can add other add-on items to this tier as well.
For clarity - where I have called this perk DVD, it should have said SD, but I was unable to change it.
Thanks, Chris

Hi there,
We have a launched a new format for our Next games - Cassette. Yes, the cassette case we used as Speccy and C64 owners and loved over the years is back.
The difference this time, is that the cassette case holds a Spectrum Next themed mould that holds an SD Card case.
If you would like one of these, then add it to your pledge - the add-on is called O - CASSETTE version. It will also be available in Backerkit post campaign. There are 100 available.
The images below are a quick demo of the final product.
This image shows the different formats for O - standard DVD, Deluxe box and now Cassette.
Cheers, Chris

Hi there,
The Kickstarter has done extremely well - so just an incentive to keep things going, if we get to £100K, everyone gets a 56-page ZZAP! 64 art bookazine.
The artwork from issue 1 to 48 of ZZAP! 64 will be featured alongside an interview feature with Karen who appears on one of Oli's covers after winning a competition. The quality of the pager the art is on will be higher than the current mags we produce, plus it will be perfect bound i.e. the spine will be glued not stapled.
Cheers, Chris

Hi there,
We have increased the Next Dreams magazine to 68 pages - it is A5 and perfect bound (i.e has a square glued spine like Retro Gamer for example, so not stapled).
This magazine will be a good companion for newcomers to the Spectrum Next computer as we delve into the best 32 games on the system so far. It will be a lovely keepsake for others.
The magazine is an add-on, you will also be able to add it to your pledge in Backerkit after the Kickstarter campaign.
Over 200 of you have already added it - so thank you!!
Cheers, Chris
