Another ZXDB update is available again!

This should be a new record

I also like "More Sinclair".

You're Sinclair?

Don't worry I got it covered already

If a certain game is multi-load in 48K but single-load in 128K, then it's added to this group with a simple remark clarifying it, like this . There are so few games like this that I don't think it's worth it to create a sub-group. Obviously I was wrong! Let's have 2 groups: Multi-loader in 48K (gro...

Please see the "ZXDB Update" thread for further details.

This information came from Martijn's WoS:

Makes sense!

Right now ZXDB has a single group for Multi-loader.

Thank you!!!

Awesome!!!

But WT actual F is going on here? https://i.ibb.co/9rb4TZ2/squirmy.jpg It seems the author intended to implement Sinclair joystick controls but misunderstood the keyboard ports. The bit sequence to distinguish keys is exactly right but the input port is wrong. To scan the keyboard, you read input p...

Anyone?

I disagree. It's kinda like saying that every game submitted to this contest should credit the organizer for "design/concept" because he has chosen the theme "bike games". No, it's a completely different situation. How many "bike games" have there been before 2021? How...

Thank you!

We don't seem to have this game in the database. Do you have more information, tape images, scans, etc?

JAWS: The Text Adventure is a fairly short, very easy adventure that you will probably enjoy.

In Snake Escape, the snake has multiple idle animations if you stop moving it during the game. There are also other animations in the menu.

DEF FN m(a,b)=b*((a/b)-INT(a/b))

Use this:

DEF FN m(a,b)=a-b*INT(a/b)

I will get it fixed for the next ZXDB update.

Information about the Danish magazine SOFT is stored here: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/x-magazine/307/SOFT Besides regular issues, there are also a few issues called "Top Secret". Does anybody know if "Top Secret" issues were sold separately (i.e special issues), or if they c...

I think we should credit Ron Jeffs but not Robert White. Robert's contribution was pretty much "a Harrier that shoots and they shoot back". This is only the choice of a theme, not a game design. That's the 'Concept' part of 'Design/Concept'. I disagree. It's kinda like saying that every g...
