Re: RIP F David Thorpe
Rest in peace. He's been one of my favourite artists in the world of ZX Spectrum.

Re: New Database Model ZXDB
Maybe it was mentioned long time ago, but I don't know how to reach to that thread or post. There are some fields in some entries I've been watching from time to time and I'd like to know, for my own curiousity, if they can be filled by any registered user via ZXDB preservation tools, or that's just...

Re: MicroHoppy
Got it and a very nice mini-conversion of Hoppin' Mad. With 10 lines length IvanBasic has done a great work.

Re: ZX (Spain) magazine type-ins, not available at SC yet
Task finished! I'll take myself some rest of several days.
Next thing, check other magazines with ZX BASIC listings in short from Germany and Italy: Computer Kontakt, Computronic, CPU, Electronic Games (Italy), Happy Computer, HC Mein Heim-Computer, Home Computer (Italy), LIST and finally Paper Soft.

Re: ZX (Spain) magazine type-ins, not available at SC yet
I'm almost finishing and completing my uploads of BASIC type-ins that are left from this Spanish magazine. Only issues from 38 and 40 have still something interesting, while last issue 41 is full of cheat loaders for several classic videogames, most of them specified for Spanish releases. I don't be...

I think we can start adding the titles, I was taking a look at the first issue, and all the programs I checked seem original, and some of them have the author name in the code.

Thank you for your help. Indeed it's a hack of 'Spectres'. No need to submit Fantastic Mission snapshot to ZXDB, obviously.

PRESERVED Not found at SC nor WOS, I thought it would be good to allocate this game here. I've been looking for it first on Quick Search, and also at WOS' Infoseek, but there's no entry made for this release, almost unknown for many. For some reason, in-action screenshot was a bit familiar to me but...

I've noticed, after checking its BASIC listing, there's a routine expecting to load a next program (from line 6000). With this clue, all options are possible.

Golf, by H. Duddy
PRESERVED Is this golf simulator missing-in-action? Or was it commercially released in some form? I think it could be a type-in from any Spectrum book or magazine, but his author couldn't be found with Infoseek or Quick Search. Neither found at The Type Fantastic website. https://i.postimg.cc/qNngzp...

Wow, you are fast! Nice job! Do you type directly into a Spectrum/emulator, or are you using some type of utility to type then upload to an emulator? I'm curious because I'm also on a bit of a type-in mission with Sinclair Programs type-ins. Thank you! :) As 20 programs are quite short in length, I...
