Did you try my fix @Ivanzx ?

Starting from today, the bonus levels I made for the Bitmap Soft cassette releases of Sophia and Sophia II shall be freely downloadable from the Zanklesoft page on itch.io.

Ugh! With my attention focused on the Spectrumpedia in the last few months, this must have slipped under my nose.

At least I made a fixed TAP file and put it on the web page nonetheless.

Felice Anno Nuovo!

Use the files from the TZX Vault.

I think that happens because you do not load the correct question block. Position the virtual tape recorder at the 3 bytes long block after the 17000 bytes long one to load question block one, at the 3 bytes long block after the 16733 bytes long one to load question block two, and so on. Tested on S...

Being from Zosya I suspect that all of this "rediscovered tape" stuff is just fiction of their own.

A mild synthpop ( pretty good for curing insomnia actually ) indie act indulging in some Spectrum programming? This is the Fr...

I remember Gilligan's Gold from an old Load 'n' Run tape. Frustrating, irritating and buggy, I never had more than a few goes with it. I lost count of the times I was cornered by the outlaws without a chance to escape, when waiting for the lift for example. And why do outlaws do not get hit by mine ...

Yay! Thanks a lot @GreenCard and @Van_Dammesque for such a great quiz!

Ahh... Freddy Hardest, an old favourite. I completed it again after ages for this challenge, my total score is 48600 + 22200 = 70800.

That reference has to be wrong then, like the mentions of label and price, which are correct in the database instead.

The end-of-game message says "Programmed by Marc Symonds", yet a certain Steve Joyce, not otherwise known, is listed as its author.

The downloadable PDF of Volume 1, English edition, had a formatting error in the section about the Spectrum 16/48K that disrupted impagination for many of the following pages. I overlooked it because in the last few days I was more concentrated on the version for printing, which is free from that fl...

Finally I got to sit down and watch through the whole issue and games. Great fun as ever, thanks to everyone involved. :xmas I must say I hadn't a clue about how to play the Illuminati game, but I guess it's due to my unfamiliarity with the hexadecimal system :? Special thanks for mentioning the Spe...

A small update:

• The Erbe and Hit Squad re-releases of Batman are compatible with the +2A/+3. I added a TAP file based on the former, which can also be found in the TAP collection for the DivIDE/DivMMC, and removed the fix from section 2.
• I found Regulus to be incompatible and made a fix for it.
