Once we were following Jaz, now...Iain wrote:Just noticed that one of the followers of my twitter account is Julian Rignall!
I feel quite honoured but now under pressure to provide witty and insightful comments into Zzap. Help!

Once again I emerge from beneath a massive pile of paper which makes my desk groan to bring you the world’s most amazing posts.
Em. Seems Twitter is stopping applications that pass the account password every time (got an email about it a week or so ago). Seems that the one I was using to display the latest tweet on the bottom of the forum has stopped working... Will look into getting a newer version at some stage...
Twitter account and all that still active though.

Re: Site Twitter Account
Twitter has now basically blocked / made ineffective all external widgets to display tweets etc. They are trying to force us to only use their widgets with all the associated extra fluff / tracking so I'm going to post my latest tweets here as well as actually on Twitter. Might hard code them somewhere in the header or footer at some stage as well.
Re: Site Twitter Account
Tweets from the past couple of months. Latest on top.

Onto issue 85 and the round up features begin. First up is Footy Phil with his soccer round up.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 5 Nov
I84 done. Steve Shields joins the gang, hopefully to rein in Lucy! The backlash against her has started in the Rrap
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 3 Nov
Ho hum iss 83 done. Many games I don't recognise since I prob didn't read this issue much back in d day. Backgrounds like 1996 web pages!!
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 30 Oct
Iss 82 done. Mainly compilation and budget reviews of which the latter are reviewed like full price games now. Makes sense for the times.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 30 Oct
Also noticed we now have 100 followers now! Not bad considering the feed is mainly about data entry updates at the moment!![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 30 Oct
I also noticed the strange cover of issue 82 http://www.zzap64.co.uk/zzapcovers/tni82mar92.jpg … .. a photo! The only one to grace Zzap or C= Force's cover
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 30 Oct
Starting 82. Lucy Hickman has taken over and Zzap's quality is about to go downhill rather quickly. Lloyd is replaced with Miss Whiplash.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 27 Oct
Iss 81 done. Some sizzlers in this one: First Samurai and The Blues Brothers. New PD section called "PD File". Bit of a dodgy pun that one!
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 27 Oct
Starting iss 81. Stu is gone and Phil King takes over as editor. A gold Medal is awarded at last with Creatures 2.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 27 Oct
Iss 80 done. Every man, woman & their dog gets to write a review in this one. Alan Green, Claire Morley, Adrian Pitt and Paul Mellerick!
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 16 Oct
I79 done. TIB 3.5" drive review. Seemed v good but never really made it. Smash TV gets 93% & 1 of d 2 sizzlers of the issue. No gold medals.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 16 Oct
@piginapokezzap It certainly started going downhill quite quickly after that, before going back up the hill a bit with Commodore Force.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 2 Oct
Issue 79 started. First issue under Europress Impact but more importantly this issue has my letter about the C65 in it!![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 9 Sep
Issue 78 was also Newsfield's last so we had to wait a while for issue 79 to come around under Europress Impact.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 9 Sep
Iss 78 done. Speedball 2 got 90%. I played it on d C64 for d 1st time a few months ago & it is a damn fine conversion. Chase HQ (37%) isn't.
Iain @ZZAPRRAP 4 Sep
Starting iss 78. C64GS officially dead. TIB 3.5" drive announced. Lots of letters about C65. Darkman review by the late Will Evans

Starting i88. Zzap goes widescreen! Nice cleaner design as well. The bottom was reached a few issues ago but things are looking up now!
