You can use the PC app/emulator BASIN to load the TZX and export to a text file. That's half way, at least. You'll then need to find something to load that into the C64, or, preferably, Realize the Error of Your Ways and Repent.

Keyboards have come a long way.
If you want some brand new type-ins, we have 2 of 'em in Issue 3 of BreakSpace, including the terrifying Shriek Space.

Excellent, thanks!
You can sell them now on the playground for two quid each.

It should have fit as-is without the border if printed to A4. I'll have a stern word with my measuring tape.

Awesome.
But why is it so ragged? Did you chew it out of the page?

It would fill our hearts with joy to see photos if anyone's used the J-cards. Anyone?

The final Ace of Issue 2 was Telethugs.
With more in common with early 90s games than the 80's classics, Jamie reckoned that 'With its chunky sprites, run-and-gun chaos, and pulsing AY soundtrack, it’s a welcome nod to the Spectrum’s final, glorious gasp.'

Shake, shake, shake, Banana, shake it all the time, as Harry Belefonte might have said, had he played Ace winner Banana Shake.
As Dave put it, this variant of 2048 / Threes 'might not make your jaw drop, but it creeps up and ends up being game of the week'

Another better-late-than-never arcade conversion picked up an Ace : Deanysoft's pixel-perfect GORF.
Sloany reckoned that this version 'not only looks the part, with its colourful bezel and spot-on graphics, but it's an absolute joy to play.'

Frogger RX was Issue 2's cover star and with good reason.
Dave reckoned it was 'quite simply a perfect ZX-Spectrum Frogger'.
There are a huge number of Frogger-style games on the Speccy, but this is the first one to really nail the visuals, controls and music.
