Re: Gavin Wade Credits
I'm taking a look at other games with Gavin Wade listed, and I think he was added based on the list above (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=138838#p138838), but looking at the games, what I see is that on many he is not mentioned in the ZX Spectrum version, but in other platfor...

Re: Venturama Cheat
Hi! Perhaps you can submit this info to The Tipshop? https://www.the-tipshop.co.uk/
Since we don't have a specific note or comment for cheats, we rely on their database for that.

Re: LIST: Programmi per il tuo home computer
Hi! Revisiting this one, the list of magazines are here: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/magazine/426/LIST
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.

Re: Options for reading & writing real Disciple / Plus D & SAM disks in 2024
Some time ago I used an utility called Omniflop for DOS, the author was kind enough to add the format, and I think it keeps working in the new Windows version.

Re: New multi platform emulator - Speculator
I was also testing it (Windows 10) and looks really nice, really surprised how good the beeper emulation is at this stage. Besides things mentioned above, I also found that loading a zip file, sometimes misses the first block.

Re: In game beeper music
It's complex but necessary to set the limits; if we include 'Jack The Nipper II' , it opens the door for other games with similar characteristics, like 'Cobra'. Yes, I agree, but we can handle that as we discover more. For now, I'm adding everything that plays a tune in-game for more than a second,...

In dynamite dan 2 it happens too. I remember that when you take the vinyl to the jukebox, a melody plays. And picking some objects too. Dynamite Dan games case is easier to justify, because they have many and recognizable melodies (I added them to the list). In Jack the Nipper II is more tricky, be...

Re: Additional credit for Flying Shark
Thanks Gears!
I wonder why Gavin Wade and Drew Northcott are listed there? Northcott was a loading screen artist, but not sure about Wade. The loading screen is signed PIP+PAVL to make things more confusing.
I can track those names from the old WOS, so, they were there for a while.

Re: Little bugs in the database 4
Thanks Stoob. I'm checking my notes and I have no idea why this particular report was left behind, probably because it was part of a conversation with Einar. I'm adding it to the TODO list.

Re: Devfinitive Edition (Keith Burkhill): discussion
I think the issue with the GG conversion is that it is not the full game, and feels kind of unpolished (and let not talk about the loading screen), but the gameplay is quite close to the original, and in fact, that's the signature of the author: all his games are very playable, even conversions of 1...

Keith is one of the programmers I learned to recognize and follow as a kid. He was a freelance working on its own, and he did many of those conversations just by memory or with a VHS of someone playing the game.

Re: Which games use teleporting ?
Yeah, I was taking a look, I have no trouble excluding the Star Trek clones from the list, since the warp speed is just a way to move ships on the grid, but I really want to add the Codename Mat games, so, I was thinking to create the group as "Hyperspace/Warp" so we can add those titles.
