As you've probably seen, we're giving away Ben Heck's mind-blowingly fantastic portable ZX Spectrum build. It's worth more than the Mona Lisa painted on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

    I do remember a Manic Miner clone that had Arthur Scargill's hairspray that you had to avoid, fairly sure I didn't dream that!
