These were later used in a revised version on the Sinclair QL, whose storage format was electrically compatible but logically incompatible with the Spectrum's.

Although the 48K Spectrum's audio hardware was not as capable as chips in other popular 8-bit home computers of the era, computer musicians David Whittaker and Tim Follin produced notable multi-channel music for the machine.

It was also very common to port games from the ZX Spectrum to the MSX, since both have the same CPU, the Spectrum 128 had the same soundchip, and the ZX Spectrum's graphic mode could be easily emulated on the MSX's screen-2 mode.

However, the Ace's video output was limited to monochrome, unlike the Spectrum's 8 colour capability.

A small compensation was the straightforward arrangement of colour pixels in this memory, instead of the ZX Spectrum's oddly-laid-out display and attributes memory.

This was caused by an error in the path of an arrow in The Attic, resulting in the sprite travelling past the end of the Spectrum's video memory and overwriting crucial game data instead.

Although the TS2068's main improvements over the original Spectrum were in areas that had come in for widespread criticism ( graphics, sound, keyboard, instant load software cartridges and — to a lesser extent — the lack of joystick ports ), it was not used as the basis for the Spectrum's successors.

Given the complexity of entering punctuation on the Spectrum's tiny keyboard, this was cumbersome.

* Boulder Dash II ( 1985 ) – The second home format was published under several different titles ; Rockford's Riot on the MSX, Rockford's Revenge on the C64 ( with the former used with the ZX Spectrum's marketing, but the latter used on the cassette inlay, originally the game was going to be called pebbles, Reg Wilkins, Allan McInlay, Martin Brown and David Kivlin were on the design team ).

The last song played was Aussie Rock Band Spectrum's " I'll Be Gone "

On March 1, 1968, wind blew part of the covering off the Spectrum's roof during a performance of the Ice Capades, forcing the building to close for a month while Mayor Tate fought with then-Philadelphia County District Attorney Arlen Specter over responsibility for the construction of the roof, and the damage was repaired.

A special logo was used for the final season of the Spectrum's use, featuring the arena's original pre-1994 logo and nickname.

Alongside Putt's bass playing and Neale's keyboard work, a key feature of Spectrum's sound was Rudd's guitar playing — he was one of the few rock guitar players at that time who eschewed the near-universal use of the guitar pick, preferring to play electric guitar with a finger-picking style.

Spectrum's second album, released in early 1972, was an ambitious 2LP set called Milesago, notable as the first Australian rock double album, and is still regarded as a landmark of Australian progressive music.

Spectrum's final studio LP was Testimonial ( 1973 ).

He was Spectrum's first agent and oversaw Cloudbase's construction.

This 9-pin plug was standard of many systems of the era, and the joysticks were fundamentally compatible with the ZX Spectrum's Kempston Interface and the Sega Master System.

The " directional control " system of the previous games was also removed because the Spectrum's single joystick button was now needed to fire Sabreman's spell, so could no longer be used to jump ( instead, " down " on the joystick is used to jump ).

The flip-screen technique was particularly common in PC games originally made for the ZX Spectrum, such as Atic Atac, Jet Set Willy, and Starquake, due in part to the Spectrum's display limitations which meant that full colour scrolling was difficult to implement convincingly-Light Force being a notable exception.

A 300-room hotel is planned to eventually be built on the demolished Spectrum's site ( which is now occupied by a parking lot ) as an adjunct to the Xfinity Live!

Many later demos feature so-called ' multicolor ' effects ( changing the color attributes of the ZX Spectrum's display configuration of 768 character blocks ), which have to be fixed to a specific ZX Spectrum model.

Captain Scarlet becomes Spectrum's foremost weapon in its fight against the Mysterons after the events of the pilot episode, in which the Mysterons threaten to assassinate the World President as their first act of retaliation.

However, the Mysterons ' attempt to assassinate the World President – for the purposes of which they kill and re-create Spectrum's foremost agent, Captain Scarlet, as an indestructible doppelganger – fails when a kidnapping of the president is foiled and the Scarlet reconstruction falls to its apparent death from the top of a tower, later regaining the consciousness of the original, human officer ( how this happens is never explained in the series canon ).

While Spectrum agents chase after an SPV, which they believe contains Black but is actually being driven ( badly ) by Symphony, he decontaminates himself inside the atomic plant and thus avoids Spectrum's attempts to detain him.

Reviews of the game were highly positive all round, with the only common criticism being the blocky graphics, which were due to the Spectrum's limited 48k of memory.

In the mid-seventies Dawkins produced a number of recordings by Spectrum's successor Ariel, including their acclaimed albums A Strange Fantastic Dream ( 1973 ) and Rock ' n ' Roll Scars ( 1974 ), which was recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.

The main pistol is attached to 12 feet of cable which ends in a dead-ended ZX81-size connector which plugs into the Spectrum's user port.

After much speculation that Allen would hire Anschutz Entertainment Group ( AEG ) to replace Global Spectrum, arena management elected to extend Global Spectrum's management contract by one year in the summer of 2007.

* During the Spectrum's final year, Taylor Swift performed at the arena as part of the Fearless Tour, while P! nk performed at the Spectrum as part of her Funhouse Tour.

Over 24, 000 software titles have been released since the Spectrum's launch and new titles continue to be released, with over 90 new ones in 2010.

The Spectrum's chiclet keyboard ( on top of a membrane, similar to calculator keys ) is marked with BASIC keywords, so that, for example, pressing " G " when in programming mode would insert the BASIC command GOTO.

With all six expansion teams grouped into the same division, the Flyers were able to win the division with a sub -. 500 record despite being forced to play their last seven home games on the road due to a storm blowing parts of the Spectrum's roof off.

A failed attempt at satellite surveillance of the Martian surface, aborted military conferences and the sabotaged construction of a new space fleet hinder Spectrum's plans to return to Mars, and the organisation is unsuccessful on two occasions in apprehending Captain Black.

The machine is based around a Z80B CPU clocked at 6 MHz, and contains an ASIC that is comparable to the Spectrum's ULA.

The Messenger plugged into the Coupé's network port, and the Spectrum's expansion slot.

The tracks " INKEY $" and " Peek 824545201 " are named after keywords in the Spectrum's Sinclair BASIC programming language.

Hyperion and Spectrum are initially hostile to one another and fight, with Hyperion accessing lost memories when coming in contact with Spectrum's crystal.

The Spectrum's video display allowed the background and foreground colours to be exchanged automatically without software attention and the " animated " load screen appears to swap the words Manic and Miner through clever manipulation of this feature.

* ZX Spectrum – Two-colour graphics in the main gameplay area due to the Spectrum's attribute clash problems.

" The school's closest rivalries are Boston University and Boston College in hockey and the University of Connecticut and the University of Rhode Island in the school's other sports, especially in soccer, swimming and diving, and basketball.

* In sports rowing, the rower closest to the bow of the boat

The closest equivalent in modern sports franchises is to assign a name that reflects the region that the team wants to represent.

As a result of these renovations, parts of the stands closest to the playing field were removed, thus lowering available seating for all sports to the stadium's present capacity of 30, 456.

As far as sports leagues folding before they actually began to play their first season, this league probably got the closest to actually starting the season than any other example, as each team had players already in camp and practicing, and rosters cut down to 60 players, before the plug was pulled.

During the 1920s the greatest American sports hero of the day was undoubtedly Babe Ruth ; his closest rival was Dempsey, a tough heavyweight boxer from the mining West.

The game's closest relatives are probably Spades and Euchre ; like many regional games, Bourré sports a large number of variant rules for both gameplay and betting considerations.

He paid $ 530 million, a record for a sports franchise at the time, outdistancing the next closest bid by $ 30 million.
