Black Magic: Thomas J Clement Per C64/128 inlay which has the same cover. Hi! I'm reviewing cover artists again, and found this case. The manual says: Documentation illustrated by Thomas J. Clement. But I'm not sure if it is related also to the cover. I was looking at the manual for Saracen (https:...

Hi @Juan F. Ramirez about your entry here:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/zxdb/ad ... ge_sql.txt

Can you clarify a bit what map are you referring to? Seems that some information got lost on the post, or perhaps it is already fixed.
Thanks!

Hi @Einar Saukas do you still need help with this? The link is now broken, but if you provide a new one I can take a look.

The game starts at the mini-game instead of Booty.

Thanks Inky, I was thinking the same, because I missed it the first time I tested it using your emulator because I thought the game crashed. Also, the game is kind of not aware of the Currah interface at all, since it is not stopping the first keystroke to pass to the speech system, something often ...

Confirmed is working on InkSpector, not on Eightyone and ZX Spin:

Perfect! Thanks @Morkin I'm going to try and wait on the main menu on other emulators, I'm now curious if the thing works on all of them. Also, I'm going to upload that screengrab to the game entry, as a proof that the minigame exists.

Hi! Some investigation I'm doing, perhaps someone can help. Booty (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/633/ZX-Spectrum/Booty) has the following comment on the game entry: "Loading the game with a Currah Microspeech unit attached activates a hidden mini-game, where the player must dive to catc...

And some fixes on this release. I'll keep working on the "Little Bugs" thread, but I always keep an eye on the Preservation Tool. Thanks everyone for the contributions. Isotopes (Magazine Sinclair User - type-in from issue #41 - 1985/Aug)(1985) (uploaded files) by 4thRock Mindstone (The Ed...

And some of the updates on this release. I'm focused on a series of very extensive fixes reported by Radek, so I'm going to be back and forth between the forum and the reports on the Preservation Tool. As always, many thanks to everyone contributing. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic....

Oh no! I truly admired Gibson. His early works on Imagine grabbed my attention as a kid, and you can see his work and creativity spreading to many titles from Ocean and Denton Designs. A sad day indeed.

Hi J. Pirés about your comment here: -- #003527 by J. Pirés -- add new publishers/authors/roles for 'Combat School (Ocean Software Ltd (UK))(1987)' [ID: 1028] INSERT INTO roles (entry_id, label_id, roletype_id) VALUES (1028, 9845, 'C'); INSERT INTO roles (entry_id, label_id, roletype_id) VALUES (102...

Great, thanks Einar!

@StooB oh I see the issue now: the old mag references are still there and are incorrect, probably because we need to remove legacy data. I think I can fix that now. Thanks Stoob!

@pavero @PeterJ can someone help us with the task above? Thanks!

Hi StooB . I'm looking at this report by Radek, that is quite interesting. Seems that the compilation Dark Force listed here: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/11640/ZX-Spectrum/Dark_Force, is in fact not the same compilation as the "Dark Force" that was advertised and even reviewed in...

And some of the changes on this release. I'm now working on some complex changes left behind on the forum, so, progress is going to be slow again, but I'll keep an eye on the reports using the preservation tool. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=68564#p68564 by 8bitag https://sp...

Hi! And yeah, the original spinner was broken and didn't show up properly when you like or you subscribe to a topic. When I fixed it, I noticed the GIF was not good for dark backgrounds, so I decided to replace it. The loading animation is cute, but I'm not 100% sure I like it, it is kind of visuall...

Some feedback about this one: SNOOKERED [#ID: 4606] There is missing the Alternate Title "Break Point" in the "COMPILATIONS FEATURING THIS TITLE" at the "Crash issue 75" release, should be added. CRASH ISSUE 75: PRESENTS 11 [#ID: 13527] There is wrong name in the "...

Hi. A new version of the dark theme is available now. Very small improvements, but I noticed some alerts and popups still having unreadable white backgrounds, so hope those are finally fixed.

And some of the changes from both releases. I'm starting to focus on the Little Bugs #5 thread again, so, hope you'll see some activity there. Thanks ALL for the contributions, fixes and insights. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=113950#p113950 by druellan https://spectrumcompu...

BTW, I'm going to compile this information into a note for the DB.

Yeah, looks strange - on my list for this entry I've noted this: 1) Create new entry in ZXDB 2) Upload TZX 3) Upload SCR 4) Add relation to ZX Spectrum entry Maybe it could be that I've already did Step 4 when doing step 1 - and then again later? Looking at the entry, it doesn't seem to miss any of...

Hi @kolbeck I was checking this report, and seems to be empty, not sure if you can remember what fix you're trying to push here. Thanks!

Seems Gargoyle Games began their advertising campaign for The Siege of Earth trilogy with release dates. https://i.postimg.cc/TKwVhMsk/Fu-Des-Q2-WIAMP-SY.png As the other two games were never released, I don't know if these dates can be trusted. But anyway, we can: Add the release date for Marsport ...
