Spectrum Computing

In Electronic Games magazine (Italy) profile it is said that issues 7 and 8 doesn't exist, but not like separate ones as I could think. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/magazine/441/Electronic_Games_/_EG_Computer I've already noticed from Internet Archive there's only one issue for them corresponding...

Kunibert game looks like the one already available at SC (from Homecomputer magazine) with almost same UDG graphics, but the one at El Trastero is more simple. Maybe a first version?

Does it seem to be a new version of 3D Master Game by Supersoft? Even this label is mentioned on opening screen.

Thank you!

I've been looking for any "Invaders" type-in at Grimwood's The Type Fantastic site but no one corresponds with this 1987 release. Unless there are English texts on several PRINT commands after checking main listing, it could have been published in any non-UK magazine.

Mystery to me.

After a long time, I'll be submitting/uploading most of BASIC type-ins published in Todospectrum magazine, first, during the present (and hot :oops: ) summer. I'll do the same with "ZX" magazine listings lately, as I told a time ago, secondly. Hope to fulfill for SC archive the more I can ...

Jose M. Claros has sent me photographs with, apparently, all type-ins appeared in that magazine. I can confirm now they were published since April to December of 1984, unless it's not confirmed if continued during 1985 (probably yes or no). There are quite simple programs for ZX-81, ZX Spectrum and ...

Do you know where I can find more information about this magazine? I would like to add it to ZXDB! I got more info from Jose Manuel today. His last email confirms he had recently bought at least 10 issues of this magazine and, according to him, this BASIC listings section only occured between March...

Do you know where I can find more information about this magazine? I would like to add it to ZXDB! Sadly, no information is found in the net and I don't believe Jose M. Claros may know more about this mag than me. If I could buy, at least, one or more issues of that magazine in some second-hand-col...

Jose Manuel (El Trastero del Spectrum) sent me some days ago some scans of two BASIC listings for ZX81 and ZX Spectrum, taken from a Spanish magazine mainly dedicated to DIY and other hobbies (ein?) named BRIC. Both programs are called "La manzana envenenada" and "El Canal de Suez&quo...

It's a hack version by a Spanish publisher of Quicksilva's "Ant Attack".

I was actually reading Video Giochi #10 magazine and found something about this maze game. In its corresponding entry , there's no statement or confirmation about its year of release, but looking this particular VG issue was printed in october 1983... https://i.postimg.cc/cKVr5KKF/videogiochi-10-102...

It's Spawn Of Evil by DK'Tronics. Maybe a hack from original game.

TZXs for volumes 4 and 5 are unavailable at SC respective entries (IDs: 24017 and 24018).

Browsing on https://zxspectrum.hal.varese.it/singoli.htm I found the game "La Bilancia". There is also the scan of the tape inside the .zip, and it's the same from the magazine. https://i.postimg.cc/9zffSSs1/bilancia.jpg I checked, there is no "Bilancia" in the DB, I'm adding it...

I'm actually checking Computer Games magazine by Alberto Peruzzo Editoriale in search of BASIC type-ins. I was reading #6 issue of October 1984, when I noticed at page 4 this entry about a possible release of a game for VIC-20 and ZX Spectrum 16K called 'La Bilancia Magica'. There's completely nothi...

I've noticed this Italian magazine has lots of type-ins to copy with any home computer of the 80s, including ZX-81 and ZX Spectrum. Is it possible this publication could be also included at Magazines section of SC website with the rest of publications related with Sinclair? It's not complete at Inte...

Having noticed rest of entries related with this software magazine in Spectrum Computing, I'd like to know if this fourth issue has the right date (Sept. 1985 or October 1985), just because the contents of this TZX are quite the same to mentioned ones at its corresponding booklet in Internet Archive...

Added TZX and inlays of this issue of J. S. Compilation Spectrum soft-zine by Gruppo Editoriale Jackson, having found them at Edicola 8-bit website. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. The Tower Of Evil (Creative Sparks, 1984) 3. Giardini Pericoli (Dangerous Gardens - Your Computer magazine type-in, issue ...

That's what I thought in a first moment, but it's fine to merge it as Einar says will do it

@Einar Saukas, @druellan and @pavero, Can I ask about the approach with type ins that appeared in magazines from multiple countries. Should they be merged? A good example is: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/36213/ZX-Spectrum/Bug_Fever And https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/16229/ZX-Spectru...

Are these two the same? Certainly the magazine references are the same, and even with my limited grasp of Spanish I know cinco is five. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/38063/ZX-Spectrum/Cinco_Modos_de_Impresion https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/27511/ZX-Spectrum/5_Modos_de_Impresi%C3%B3n ...

Yes, I was adding some listings from Popular Computing Weekly this afternoon, and noticed this one had an entry, but no files. So I added files, screens and instructions. Peter Good! I expect to fill the gaps during next months with every listing I see using actual PDFs already available (sad most ...

Already installed TAP and screenshots for this arcade type-in from Popular Computing Weekly magazine, issue 31 October 1985, also known as "Guy Fawkes Night" as appears inside the BASIC listing. These files have been already uploaded to ZXDB, through preservation tools. I suppose @PeterJ i...

Found it!
