There is TZXplay where it should be possible to play tzx files on real hardware: Link: https://github.com/shred/tzxtools Not sure if it is actually compatible with the +2A, though. Anyone else have some more experience in using this tool? PS: my apologies if I am unclear or my answer is not helpful.

I am not sure how to call this. In the AD (see previous post. sorry. I had to do find it again before I could posting it) it says: An adaptation of Castle-Spellerous by the late Sinclair. It is between MOD or a new game. IF you know what I mean. Anyone?

It is the Dutch (translated) release of Castle Spellerous that was done by Primosoft and published by NIB BV.

Not officially? In what way?

With Italian games on such tapes it could be possible that is a pirated game, but with this one I am not sure. Yet.
