Re: Music files in SC and other sites. Permission affair.
"Just because the game is free does not mean that it can be fragmented into parts and used indiscriminately." Another option is, perhaps we can simply add a short message in the "downloads" section stating the obvious: that files freely available for download are usually copyrig...

Re: Music files in SC and other sites. Permission affair.
You raised a very good point. Right now, our rules only prevent distributing files for denied titles. I never realized we may need to block certain types of files for allowed titles. On the other hand, we inherited a large library of AY files that was available from Martijn's old WoS. I hope we won'...

Re: Coincidence!
My theory is as follows: Flak is a low budget game, thus I'm guessing US Gold commissioned a low budget screen too. For such low price, Thorpe's solution was to take his previous screen from Raid Over Moscow, and replace buildings with just a few lines in the horizon. However leaving most of the scr...

This screen also looks like it was taken from somewhere else, but I cannot recognize it... Anyone?

There are a few more cases here:

(look under "LOADING SCREEN ADAPTED FROM")
Is anything else missing from this list?

For the American release, titled "Voyage to the End of the Universe," American International Pictures cut the film up, changing a number of things:

The cast and staff's names in the credits were altered significantly to look like English.

Re: HELP WANTED: Magazine type-in page numbers!
There are 4 type-ins in it that are missing (the Hobby-Computer issue is not linked to any type-in so far): - Lander - Entenjagd - Dame - 3-D-Plot (utility) Ops, this magazine was duplicated by mistake! This is the correct link, including these type-ins: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/issue/10463/...
