Re: ZX (Spain) magazine type-ins, not available at SC yet
After a long time, I will be uploading to ZXDB most of type-ins published in "ZX" magazine (not everything, just better ones of every issue, except existing ones in the archive) in the following days. However, I will have a break for about fifteen days, counting from beginning of March, in...

Re: Cursed be the City
So, this is The Guild re-release, right? Not archived at SC yet, so I don't want to mistake before submitting both TZX to the archive.

Not preserved at Spectrum Computing since then, yet. Do you wish I upload their files any day now, André?

Re: Johnny Bravo
Is it inspired in popular Cartoon Network TV animated show? Looks fine.

Re: Fantastic Mission (Program Soft, 1984)
Thank you for your help. Indeed it's a hack of 'Spectres'. No need to submit Fantastic Mission snapshot to ZXDB, obviously.

Fantastic Mission (Program Soft, 1984)
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...

Re: Golf, by H. Duddy
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...

Re: To type or not all programs from the book "20 Best Programs for the ZX Spectrum" by Andrew Hewson
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...

I've found out that both games are the same playable demos rescued in 2005 at the same website (btw: not included in Spectrum Computing yet). PC versions are quite new and need each to be placed, once decomprissed, as indicated: - The first is that you don't have to place the directory in a place wh...

Doubts with ZX-81 Space Invaders entry
I was looking for ZX-81 Quicksilva's QS-Invaders and the only thing I've found was this entry . I wonder if it's the same game lately re-released by Quicksilva label in 1982, as related downwards, so I could upload the .p file I've found in this French site (1982 re-release) and inlays. http://zx81....

To type or not all programs from the book "20 Best Programs for the ZX Spectrum" by Andrew Hewson
Hi! I was wondering if all BASIC programs published in this Hewson Consultants book could be added to ZXDB as I pretend to type in them whenever I can. As I own the original UK book release, I could submit everyone of them separately once copied and checked, or at least unify all of them in one sing...
